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. G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------5-5-5---5-5-5---5-5-4-4------------| A|---5-5-5---5-5-5---5-5-4-4---------------5-------5---------7-7-5-5----| E|---------5-------5---------7-7-5-5------------------------------------| 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.
