I saw there was a guitar tab for this, but I didn't check it out
because I wanted to figure it out myself.  So you might want to check
out the other tab for this on GameTabs.

First, here's my literal transcription.  It's in 6/8 time, with
triplets (marked with T's).  The triplets are pretty fast so you might
only want to pluck on the beats and not on every note.

And here it is an octave down, in drop-D tuning (which makes the
octaves a lot easier on fretless).  This song sounds really cool in
the bass range :-)
