This song is mostly just him playing the main riff over and over
again with ad libs, so I will just tab each of those ad libs seperately.
Ad Lib 1:
G-----7p6-6-------7-7-6-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D-7-9-------7p6-4-------7p6-------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------5h7---------------------------------------------------------|

D-7-7-7h9--------------9-7-7h9-----------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
Ad Lib 3:
G-------7-6-------7-7-6-------------------------------------|
D-7-6-7-----7-6\4-------7p6---------------------------------|
A---------------------------5h7-----------------------------|
E-------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
Fill 2:
G-------------------------------|
D-------------0-2-0-2-4-6-4-6-7-|
A-------0-2-4-------------------|
E-0-2-4-------------------------|
For the part where he talks just keep playing open E string until
the near end, that's when you go back to the main riff.
Every ad lib I didn't tab is just a very slight variation of an
ad lib I already tabbed. Once you know all the ad libs I tabbed,
I it is very easy to get the ones I didn’t tab, because they are basically
the same thing.
Outro:
G-9-7-------7-6---------------------------------------|
D-----9-7-6-----7-6-----------------------------------|
A-------------------9-7-------------------------------|
E-----------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
G-9-7-------------------------------------------------|
D-----9-7-6-7-6---6-----------------------------------|
A---------------9---9-7-------------------------------|
E-----------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
Repeat this last line twice, then do this:
G-----------------------------------------------------------------9-7-------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------------9-7-6-7-6---6-----|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------9---9-7-|
E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|

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.

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).
