This one proved a tougher nut to crack than I had 
originally thought. 

Firstly, there is a bar during the intro of unusual 
length, bar 4, I believe it is
in 9/8.

Secondly, although many of the bass lines are
repeated, there are slight variations from time
to time, so I have basically tabbed the entire 
song bar for bar.

And lastly, the outro section was a real pain.
See note.
Other than that I hope it is of some use.

Outro

(Note: I found it very difficult to hear what the bass
 was playing note for note during this section, so the
 following is a close approximation. Also, the timing 
 is all over the place which makes it even more
 difficult to tab. As long as you have a feel for it, 
 it should be no problem)
