The tuning for this song is in Dropped C tuning.  And this song can be played on 
either a 4-string or a 5-string bass.  Just tune accordingly.
Highest (thinnest) string to lowest (thickest) string.
1 2 3 4
F C G C

I've looked at other tabs that are wrong, or tabs that are for a 5-string bass,
and having to play things 1 fret higher.  Here is the way I play it.

Intro 2 / Refrain / Verse (abbrev. as I2/R/V).
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|--0----3----8----8--7--|  Repeat as many times as needed.

Chorus  Play this as many times as needed before going back into the verse.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|----------1-0--------1-0-----------1-0--0-----3--3-3-5--|
|--0-3--0-------0-3-0-------0-3--0---------5-5-----------|

Bridge  NOTE: These are the correct notes, but not the correct amount.
Listen to the song and you'll hear it for yourself.
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|

Here's the order of the song

Intro 1 (no bass)

I2/R/V (the one where the bass comes in with the rhythm guitar)

I2/R/V

Chorus 1

I2/R/V

Chorus 2
(between the 2nd chorus and bridge, you hit open C (lowest string/thickest string)
Bridge

I2/R/V

Chorus 3 until end.


Enjoy learning an amazing 3DG song.  If something isn't correct to your ears, let me know.
P.S.  I know that the chorus isn't 100% correct,
I added an extra note on the end, it adds to the song IMO.
