Bass tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
INTRO (0:00 - 1:01)
First A note (5) is played only when starting the riff up.
Continues from the ending 5 to the 12-12-14 on following bars.
The E on the A string (7) is barely rung, but audible.

~no bass from 1:01 to 2:27~
MAIN RIFF (2:27 - 4:53)
Very slight variations in this riff; sometimes instead of sliding
down from 3\1 on the E string he slides 3\1 on the A string and
continues with the F(1) on E. Other small variations you can pick
up on, ie sometimes the first F(3) on D is rung longer, sometimes no
ending G(3) on E, etc

MAIN RIFF EXPANDED (4:53 - 6:16, 6:37 - 7:19)
These four verses play out in the following order then repeat in
nonsequential order with very slight imporovisations. There is a
resting phase in the middle of this section from 6:16 to 6:37.

OUTRO (7:19 - 8:15)
Outro is just two F and C sections repeated until the bass fades
out around 8:15, but see below too.

E|-1-1-(1)------------------3-3-----x-1-1-----------------------------x|
At 7:45 it gets a little different just for the one repetition, then
back to the regular outro. I think he actually slides on the G string
but I found this to be quite awkward sounding.
