Another tabber got this right for the most part, but made enough mistakes where I'll do
that I believe is 100% correct.
P: Pull off
First Riff: x4
G|-----7---7p5---------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3-----------------------------------------|
A|--5------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Second Riff: x2
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----5--5p3-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------5-1--3-1--3-1----------------------------|
E|--3---------------------------------------------------|
First Riff: x2
G|-----7---7p5---------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3-----------------------------------------|
A|--5------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Third Riff:
G|---------------------------------------------7---5---------|
D|--7-----7p5---7--7-----5--7---5-5-5-5-5-3----------7-5--3--|
A|------------7-------7---------------------5----------------|
E|-----5-----------------------------------------------------|
Play once
Play riff one three more times, then end with a fifth on the A, like so:
x3
G|-----7---7p5----------------|-----------------------------------------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3|-----------------------------------------|
A|--5-------------------------|--5--------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
Then it goes into:
x1
G|-----7---7p5----------------|-----------------------------------------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3|-----------------------------------------|
A|--5-------------------------|--5--------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
And then:
x1
G|--------------------------|----------------------------|
D|-----5--5p3---------------|----------------------------|
A|-------------5-1--3-1--3-1|----------------------------|
E|--3-----------------------|--3-------------------------|
Then:
G|-----7---7p5----------------|-----------------------------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3|-----------------------------|
A|--5-------------------------|--5--------------------------|
E|----------------------------|----------2h3-3-3-4-4--------|
Then they change it up with this:
G|------------------------------|----------------7--5------|------|
D|-----7---7p5----7----7----5--7|-5-5-5-5-5-3---------7-5-3|------|
A|-------------7---------7------|-------------5------------|-5----|
E|--5---------------------------|--------------------------|------|
Then comes the famous drum solo, and you'll end with:
x1
G|-----7---7p5----------------|--------|
D|-------------7-3---5-3--5--3|--------|
A|--5-------------------------|--5-----|
E|----------------------------|--------|
x1
G|--------------------------|----------------------------|
D|-----5--5p3---------------|----------------------------|
A|-------------5-1--3-1--3-1|----------------------------|
E|--3-----------------------|--3-------------------------|
x1
G|------------------------------|----------------7--5------|------|
D|-----7---7p5----7----7----5--7|-5-5-5-5-5-3---------7-5-3|------|
A|-------------7---------7------|-------------5------------|-5----|
E|--5---------------------------|--------------------------|------|
And the last two bars are:
h h w
G|--------|---------------|
D|--------|---------------|
A|--5----3|---------------|
E|--------|-----5---------|
Please rate and enjoy.

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.
G|-----------------|
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).
