Thank you. That was more than 90% spot on. 1 part where it scales down from G D G, then F# C# F#, but I'm still trying to figure that out. Great job!! 😀

Instead of this. Gb|------------|------------| Db|------2--0--|------------| Ab|-3----------|-3-----2----| Eb|------------|------------| I stay on the A. 3. Slide to 7. 5 3 2h3p2~ vibrato while it rings. This being a nice bass led song anyway, nice to add that tiny flourish. 5 0 3 on the E into opens.
