Partial Bass Tab Transcription by Jeff MacGroucutt(jmacgroucutt@exide.co.nz)

Intro
------
                             Then                         etc etc
G-|---17--17--17--17--17......----17--17--17--17--17....----------|
D-|-15--15--15--15--15--......------------------------------------|
A-|-----------------------------15--15--15--15--15......----------|

Riff 1
------
                                                        repeat etc
G-|---------------------------------------------------------------|

A-|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
   Could be played D3 then A3, but I'm pretty sure he slides back 
   up to A7 - so he probably starts there

Riff 1 transition to Riff 2 (something like this)
---------------------------
      
G-|------------5----5-5----5-/-17...|
D-|---------------------------------|
A-|...3-3-3-3-3--3-3---3-3----------|
E-|---------------------------------|
   Ease in a few G5's then fast slide up to G17 (Riff 2)

Riff 2
------
                                                               etc
G-|-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-12-12-12-12-12...|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
