This is a really great song and very easy to play on bass.
The tab here is the basic root note stucture that is definately 
used, however during the solo I think thirds and fifths are
also present in the bass line but are only played very softly
so if you listen carefully enough you might be able to hear
them yourself.

During the guitar riff at the beginning and inbetween the 
first chorus and the second verse. Let the notes ring:

RIFF 1:
      1  2   3   4     1  2  3  4    1  2  3  4      1  2  3  4 
G------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/
D------------2-----/---0----------/--------2-----/---0----------/
A-----0------------/--------------/--0-----------/--------------/
E------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/

This is the chorus riff (I'm sorry, please forgive me,... etc)
but can also be played throughout the verse (although there
isn't actually a bass playing during the verse) it still fits:

RIFF 2:
G--------------------------------/----------------------------/
D--------------------------------/----------------------------/
A--------------------------------/----------------------------/
E---------------5555555544444444-/-2222222244444444-----------/

Guitar solo (each note held for a whole bar - let the ring)
this is where thirds and fifths can be added:

RIFF 3:
G------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/
D------------------/--------------/---2----------/---0----------/
A---0--------------/---0----------/--------------/--------------/
E------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/

G------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/
D------------------/--------------/---2----------/--------------/
A---0--------------/---0----------/--------------/--0-----------/
E------------------/--------------/--------------/--------------/
