I've never seen a bass tab for this song, and as
simple as the chord progression seems to be, the
bass part is pretty extensive and incredibly fun
to play with all the little runs and things.
I primarily play guitar and this is my first tab
for bass so feel free to e-mail me with comments
or questions at CorganFanatic@hotmail.com

Until the distortion, the bass part is very bouncy and
almost swung, so play around with timing.
