This song sounds like there are two bass lines in first half. My
transcription represents main rhythmic part. Second part sounds more like
additional and consists of eight-notes with fade outs.
Note: There are some dotted notes and some staccatos. Examples:
(6.) <--- This means dotted note.
.
(6) <--- This means staccato.
