BAND: Greenday
SONG: Longview
ALBUM: Dookie
TABBED BY: Chris Fazio (Slaughterer015@aol.com)
I'd recommend using a pick on this.
To play this song, tune your bass down half a step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb)
but you can leave it how it is, it'll just be a bit higher

Play eigth notes swing style
for example: two eighth notes equal a dotted eigth note and 
a sixteenth note.
