There is no bass til the drums start, it is guitar. The other tabs have bass playing from the start, it doesnt. It comes in with the drums. This tab was quickly rejected, it is the correct way to play the song. completely different to other versions, it should be on here to give bassists the chance to play the song right Intro in with the drums G|-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2/-----| D|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|/10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14--| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-14-14-14-14-14-14---| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| verse riff G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------3------------------------3------------------------3------------| A|-----3h5-5--x3h5-5-3h5--------3h5-5--x3h5-5------------3h5-5--x3h5-5-3h5--| D|-0-0----------------------0-0---------------3h5----0-0--------------------| G|--#---------------------| D|------------------------| 1st verse x4 A|-----3h5-5-x-55-66666---| D|-0-0--------------------| 1st chorus G|---------------5--5--5-5-5-5\/7--7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-5----------------| D|-3--3--3-3-3-3---------------------------------------------7\-------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------5--5--5-5-5-5\-2--2--2-2-2-2-2--3--3-3-3-3-3---------------| D|-3--3--3-3-3-3------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 2nd verse is verse riff x4 then bass rests and comes back in with drums plays intro riff(dont accentuate the slide) then verse riff x3 with this fill to the final chorus # G|-------------------| D|-------------------| A|-----3h5-5-555555--| D|-0-0---------------| last chorus/outro G|----------------5--5--5-5-5-5--7--7--7-7-7-7-7--7--5----------------------| D|-3--3--3-3-3-3----------------------------------------7--5-7\-------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------5--5--5-5-5-5--2--2--2-2-2-2-2--3--3--3-3-3-0-------------| D|-3--3--3-3-3-3------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------2-3-5--5--5-5-3-5-3--7--7--7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-9-9-7--------------| D|-3--3--3-3----------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------5--5--5-5-5-5--2--2--2-2-2-2-2--3--3--3-3-3-3-------------| D|-3--3--3-3-3-3------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| that is it people | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
