I'm kind of lazy to make my own tab, but here goes the real chorus: |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-|-----------------|-----------------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-----------------|-------------2-2-|-------------4-4-| |-----------------|-----------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-----|-0-0-0-0-2-2-----| Taken by ear from separated bass track. You can easily google it, and see for yourself. It's played like that all the time, no variations. And Mark rarely played just plain eights of the same note, always having some transitions. Plus in the outro there are actually two bass tracks. The one that's here is correct, but also the "intro" one is present, as well as in the interlude part.

Brilliant tab!! The only thing I think may be missing is the last part of the verse, does it go G|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4- D|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6- A|-----------------|-----------------|----------------- E|-----------------|-----------------|----------------- -6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-| -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| -----------------| -----------------|
