	        Standard Tuning - 4 String Bass 
 
I thought this was a cool song, so I made an attempt at it. 
It's mostly played on the E and A strings. 
 
() - means hold the note 
/  - means slide up 
\  - means slide down 
 
The Intro goes like this: 
 
E:------------------------77777777--------- 
A:-44-55-55555555-44444444--------44-55---- 
D:----------------------------------------- 
G:----------------------------------------- 
 
Repeat that twice and after the 2nd time add a '(5)' 
on the A string. 
 
Then you'll play this twice: 
 
E:------------------77777777---------- 
A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000-- 
D:------------------------------------ 
G:------------------------------------ 
 
After playing that twice, play this twice as well: 
 
E:------------------7777--77---------- 
A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000-- 
D:--------------44-------------------- 
G:------------------------------------ 
 
Then, you'll play this: 
 
E:---------77--------77--------77------777-- 
A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0- 
D:------------------------------------------ 
G:------------------------------------------ 
 
Then you go back to the chorus. Play this four times: 
 
E:-------------------77777777------ 
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- 
D:--------------------------------- 
G:--------------------------------- 
 
On the fourth time, add a '(5)' to the A string 
Then play this twice: 
 
E:------------------77777777---------- 
A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000-- 
D:------------------------------------ 
G:------------------------------------ 
 
Followed by this played twice: 
 
E:------------------7777--77---------- 
A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000-- 
D:--------------44-------------------- 
G:------------------------------------ 
 
Then you play this once again: 
 
E:---------77--------77--------77------777-- 
A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0- 
D:------------------------------------------ 
G:------------------------------------------ 
 
Then the chorus four more times: 
 
E:-------------------77777777------ 
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- 
D:--------------------------------- 
G:--------------------------------- 
 
Again, you'll add the '(5)' on the A string 
Hold that note out into this next part.  The song 
will break down and the bass holds some notes. I 
spaced the numbers to try to show tempo. Listen to 
the cd to get it down. 
It goes: 
 
E:----------------(5)-/10\2-- 
A:--(4)----(2)--24----------- 
D:--------------------------- 
G:--------------------------- 
 
E:---------------------(5)--------------------- 
A:--22-22222-22-22222-------22-22222-22-22222-- 
D:--------------------------------------------- 
G:--------------------------------------------- 
 
E:-(5)-/10\2--------------------- 
A:------------22-22222-22-22222-- 
D:------------------------------- 
G:------------------------------- 
 
E:-(5)-/10\2--------------------- 
A:------------22-22222-22-22222-- 
D:------------------------------- 
G:------------------------------- 
 
E:--------------------- 
A:--22-22222--2-2-2-2-- 
D:--------------------- 
G:--------------------- 
 
Then you come near the end with the chorus played 
four more times: 
 
E:-------------------77777777------ 
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- 
D:--------------------------------- 
G:--------------------------------- 
 
Once again, add and hold the '(5)' on the A string 
after the fourth time. Hold it to the next part. 
Then you end the song with this: 
 
E:----------------(5)-- 
A:--(4)----(2)--24----- 
D:--------------------- 
G:--------------------- 
 
And that's it.  Hopefully I got it right.  Correct as you see fit 
or email me if you need anything.  Good luck.
