I just follow the drum rhythm here, the synth slide is pretty easy to hear.

Very simple progression, gives a lot of room to experiment.
[Breakdown]

A|---------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3---------------------------------------|
D|-8-8-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------------|x2
(The timing here is a little tricky. It goes from two measures of 4/4 to
one of 2/4 back to two of 4/4 to give it that weird, bouncy, off-rhythm feel.)
[Bridge]

(Death inspires me...)
[Chorus]

D|------------------------------------------8---5----------------------------|
(Can you save...)
I don't play the first time around and I cut out the C immediately.

Same trick as first breakdown, the notes are a little different though.

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

D|-----------------|
A|---------3-------|
E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
