This song is pretty tough, but pay attention to the timing 
and itll work out. There are some variations but this will
 get you in the right direction. Good Luck. Any questions/

  The end is kind of a slap/pluck deal. Really easy to pick out.

The end there can be changed out with the slap part at the end of the pre chorus
And is used that way towards the end of the song.

E|-----------3--------------------0-0---------------------------|
                                  That repeats the end of the song

The structure is pretty easy to figure out. Just blast the bass
 on your stereo and jam to it. Some of the stuff is very hard to 
pick out, but if you follow along, I tried to put as much detail
 as I could. Please rate ( good or bad )
