We have an official Für Elise tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
I ran into this tab on bassmasta.com when it was still running but it pissed me
off because the original tab was all on one string, so I figured out how to play
it while keeping your hand in the same position on the neck. Not too hard to pull
off but it's pretty fun and it impresses people that don't play.

I like to finish it off this way. It's nothing too fancy but I think it zazz's it
up a little bit and especially sounds cool if your bass is strung with
flatwounds. I do the chord by strumming upwards with my middle and index fingers
put together, I don't think the Stanley Clarke-style strumming fits the rest of the song.

"...and it impresses people that don't play." Every musician's story. Nice tab. I support you finishing it as said.
