The tabs that I've seen for this are way oversimplified.  First of all, the song is in
D tuning and the low D string is hit during the first bass run.  Also, if you listen
you can hear the high e string the entire time except during the bass runs.  The song is 
of 3 chords, D, C, and B/G.  The chords are played as listed below.

Don't try to pick hard at the e and B strings, but strike them with a very light strum.
song requires some touch.


There is a bass run during the G of the bridge and several during chorus.  The open D
is the start of the next D chord.

Chorus bass goes something like this before going back into the C chord.
