I tabbed this off of the Listener Supported Video.
This is on 5/4 time. So don't rush the second half 
of the rhythm. And remember, timing is everything!!
(And I am a guitar player tabbing this stuff out.)

This is on a five string bass, just to let you know.

This is that awesome riff that he does in the middle. This is also very accurate, I watched and paused in slow motion each note on the video. If it doesnt sound quite right Ill fix it.

This is the jam  (4/4 time)
He does the basic verse variation and then just does a couple little other ones.

I hope you like it. I'll try to add to it as I listen and watch more of it. But this is very detailed. Remember to slide a lot in this song. You have to listen to the song very carefully to get the bass in the chorus. It is very detailed.
