Tuning: (E A D G) Standard Tuning
 
Note To The Reader:
I realize there are 3 other bass tabs up, but I found that they are missing out  certain
and they are mostly in the wrong octave.  If you listen to the recording, you'll hear
the bass is actually playing LOW G and E (If I'm going crazy let me know). (I think he
might drop tune it, I thought I heard him play a low D in the bridge).
AND! As a bonus, I give you the violin solo in the outro! (...because most bands don't
a violinist, our band just gives it to the bass player! It's always fun to spice up a
part with stuff like that).
I’m almost 100% sure that this is correct, I’ve listened 100 times!!  The others are
but are missing a few things!

“And then she whispered how could you do this to me...”
G|----------|------------|
D|----------|-0~---------|
A|-00000000-|------------|
E|----------|------------|
 
If you don’t want to play the violin solo, the outro is just the chorus with a minor
on the last time he says: “For You” As noted below the violin solo.
 
And, as I promised, the violin solo:
G|-0~-(let ring)--|----------------|---------|---------|---------|
D|----12/9\14/12~-|--------12/7\9~-|-10~-----|-12~-----|-12~-----|

2nd Time:
G|-0~-(let ring)--|----------------|---------|---------|---------|

And the open “A” is not a typo, he DOES change it at the end.
