This is much closer than any of the other versions I've seen.
Intro/Verse/Outro
G|--------|--------|
D|------0-|------40|
A|---2---2|---2-2--|
E|0-3-3---|0-3-3---|
Chorus
G|--------|---------|--------|---------|----------|------|
D|--------|---------|--------|---------|----------|------|
A|33-333-3|55-5-77-7|33-333-3|55-5-77-7|33-333----|------|
E|--------|---------|--------|---------|------0135|5-55/\|
Solo (starts of like this for about 4 measures then changes
to something I'm not sure of yet...)
G|--------|--------|
D|22225555|22225500|
A|--------|--------|
E|--------|--------|
Then it's just another verse, then chorus, then back to verse
until you end, the song fades out, so do with it what you like.
The arrangement is something like:
Intro

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).
