Transcribed by Mark Smeets

Recommended Tunings: 5 string Bass with your 5th string as a Low D.
                     Standard Tuning
                     An Effects Pedal Of some sort
                     Tune your E string down to D (whole step)

Notes: You don't really need to hit those low octave notes. It isn't THAT big
       of a deal but I will try to figure out the correct tab for those notes
       later.

Verse
The first section is played an octave lower but since we don't have access 
to a 5(6) string, these are the right notes.
