Bass tabs
Standard tuning (EADG)
NOTE: There are two versions of this song -- the full album version,
and the music video version. Both versions are exactly the same, the
only difference being that while the song fades out at the 4:05 mark,
on the album it kicks back in at 4:06 for an extended, two-and-a-half
minute slow jam. I chose to tab the shorter music video version because
it's the more popular version, and because I feel the slow jam finale
is a bit redundant. Not hating, just saying.
