Bass tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
Most of the song, except the pre-chorus is a variation of this riff. I tabbed it out using
the open A string, but you can also use the 5th fret on the E string. In fact, I think I hear a slide down
from the 5th fret down to the 2nd fret, but I don't know if it's the guitar or bass guitar. Look at the
first chorus for that variation tab. Play it how you like!

(In the recording, only the kick drum hits those last notes, no bass. But
when I play it, I like to hit the F# 3 times cuz it's more fun and adds more boom!)
