Awesome song. Not too difficult, but can get incredibly confusing with key changes and 
not. Hopefully it'll make sense.

He uses a 5 string bass, but you only need to fifth string for one note in the whole 
so it can be played easily on a four string. I'll just tab it out with the regular 4 
but make a note of where the lower B string is used.

As far as rhythm, each little - is a 16th note, with one extra at the beginning and end 
a bar. I'll put a [tri] below triples (the three notes corresponding to the T, R, and I).

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along

Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart"
