i don't do tabs but this is
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
First off, thank you very,
First off, thank you very, very much for the kind words. They mean a lot to me, and I'm glad I've helped you. :)
As I've only recently begun learning guitar, there is a large chance I am more inexperienced then you. While in my current state of talent I find the duel e strings difficult to work with, I especially love how you nailed those last four notes. When I made the tab I tried to get them as well, but obviously failed.
Also, using the second fret on the high e string as the basis for the near-last part of the song is much better than how I tabbed it: using the higher frets on the b string. I'll definitely be using your method over mine from here on out. :)
Oh, another thing. If you're uncomfortable with spreading your fingers for the bass riff over the fretboard that much, then I offer this alternative solution:
e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|-------------------------|
D|--8---------8---------8--|
A|-----9---------9---------|
E|--------11--------11-----|
And for the second bass riff just move your fingers up one fret lower.
To reiterate, your tab is superior to mine, and again I thank you. ^^
