Awesome song. Not too difficult, but can get incredibly confusing with key changes and not. Hopefully it'll make sense. He uses a 5 string bass, but you only need to fifth string for one note in the whole so it can be played easily on a four string. I'll just tab it out with the regular 4 but make a note of where the lower B string is used. As far as rhythm, each little - is a 16th note, with one extra at the beginning and end a bar. I'll put a [tri] below triples (the three notes corresponding to the T, R, and I).
