As I was tabbing this excellent song, I found that (as I had
suspected) there are really two basslines, one overlying the
other; either that or a bassline and a synth line, but I doubt
that is the case. I have tabbed them both separately here; the
higher main part is first and the lower part comes after it.
The lower part also has a low D, which I've assumed to be a 5-
string because I really have no idea of the tuning.
