Bass tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
Difficulty: Novice
Album: I've Been Expecting You (1998)
You'll have to tune down E to D or D#, whatever you find more comfortable.
Pay attention to the Palm Mutes in the first half of the song. It's mostly
7 bars palm muted and the last one is played normally. Enjoy!
