G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-5-5-5-7-7-7-5-5-| x9, fades out
E|-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-|-----------------|

at the same time, the second bass plays this

G|-----------------|---.-----7-------|-----------------|---.-----9-------|
D|---0-m---5~--m---|---7-------------|---0-m---5~--m---|---7-------------|
A|---5h7-m---------|-----------------|---5h7-m---------|-----------------|

E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

G|---.-------.-----|---7---9---7-----|
D|---5-------7-----|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------| x5, fades out
E|-----------------|-----------------|

            D|-0-m-----|
*** for the A|-5h7-----| parts, mute the D string using the same finger you're hammering with.
    should be pretty easy to do both in the same motion



\ = slide down
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
x = dead note
~ = vibrato
* = harmonic = staccato
m = mute string (i.e. stop previous note from ringing)
