i don't do tabs but this is one of my favorite songs of all time so ive been thumbing around with it by ear before and got nowhere do to the tracks just not lining up in my head, with the recent tab though i have had a baseboard to work from

im not stealing here i just wanted to offer an alternate style to this tab and if allowed i will polish it further under whatever creative guidelines are needed, i don't want credit for anything really i just want to share it

perhaps this is a cheap bass method i know its just dual e's but for me it felt the most like the song perhaps not the most accurate note for note, but for replicating it, i really need to get a music theory class under my belt sometime, it will help me so much

i have not gotten to the bass part yet, those last 4 notes were driving me nuts for days and i just got it like 5 minutes ago

ENJOY and let me know if theres anything i need to do with this
