Comments are welcome but I take no responsibility for any errors other than typos.

h    = hammer
p    = pulloff
b    = bend
/\/\ = vibrato (?) ( bend the note really fast or use the bar.)
P.M. = Palm Mute
harm = harmonic

The spacing between notes is not exactly correct because it was really hard
to get the notes to line up with the lyrics.


 
To start off if you want to play the bass part on a guitar I think it goes like this:

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0h2--2--2--2--0--0--0---2--3---3---3--3--3b--0--0---0--3--0--0---0---0--0|
					      |
					      ---- guitars come in about here.

The backing guitars play this during the solo and it seems really close.
