This is a great tab, I've just spent two hours working this out from the official tab which places the fingers in places no bassist would go and isn't spot on anyway. I wish I'd seen this first. I've come up with something which is pretty much note for note what is here. The only thing I do differently is that I think the basic pattern is.

Either works and you can also play the A open string A|---5-5-5-0-5-5-5-0-| if you are struggling for speed. It's a really fun bassline.
