I tabbed this off the Listener Supported DVD.
This is a very hard song to figure out!
It is Played on a five string bass.
A good tip is to know how to slide real good.        
                   

Intro (same as the guitar part)

Verse 
This is pretty much what he does. I threw in a couple different variations of the verse. Remember that the slides he does are fast. Of course, what he actually does is a little more complicated.

He throws this in too sometimes instead of the slide.

Going into the chorus 
This should be right. Or something similar to this.

Chorus - "I was just wonder if you'd come along . . . 
I couldnt find out exactly what he does here, so, I just put down the root notes of what Dave plays on the guitar. Remember to throw in slides every so often.

Pre Chorus - "Or I will go . . ."

End Jam -
He basically plays the same thing Dave plays. Stefan adds in a little more sliding of course.

Outro - progressively gets louder and louder.

That's it so far. This song I quite hard to tab out on bass. Especially since I am a guitar player. I usually just stick to tabbing out Dave's stuff. (which is hard enough) If you have any questions e-mail me.
