  			NB: this song uses a delay i think (or reverb atleast), so it sounds like  
you hit the strings more than once 
but you dont, thats just the effect. Also, spacings are not exact, that  
would be too hard to do. 
 
KEY for this song: 
()=ghost note 
{}=take note of when the notes are played later in the song 
	(ie, may not be played again later, only first time thru) 
 
 
bass intro (i think its the same thru the whole thing, maybe, i wasnt paying  
attention..) 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------------------------------------------------------3--5--7-9-12-| the  
part on the A string is repeated every now and then 
E|-5--1--0--3-4-5--1--0--3-4-5--1--0--3-4-5--1--0--3-4---------------| 
 
The rest of the bass is based on those notes, i think.
