This is a great song, the bass line repeats itself with breakdowns throughout the song.
I have added some timings but listen to the song to hear it better as the octaves are 
16th notes.

The . after a note symbolises a dotted note, i.e. 1.5 times the length. In this instance 
are always 8th notes.

I'm pretty sure this is right but any corrections please let me know.
