G------------------------| D--------------|-%-------------------| A------------------------| E|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-0-0-|---|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| Do this slowly also, but fade out. ------------------| ------------------| ------------------| |-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| OK, the above is a quite good bass transcription of this song. However, there is one part I am unsure about. It is the Bridge to the Chorus or Pre-Chorus. I know it is something like I showed, but the bass is complex and hard to hear in that part, so that`ll have to do. If somebody gets it right, please mail me the corrections, I`d like to have it right.
