Key Dm
 
Note:  *This song uses two bass over dubs (or looped) w/special efx. Other "bassy" sounds are synth.
       **The "x" in each measure is a kick by the bass drum ; not an actual bass note.
       *** Only in Middle 8 parts will Bass 1 and Bass 2 play together.
       **** Before any violent reactions, KINDLY listen to the song carefully for timing.

Great tab, but with a little mistake. You wrote F, which is correct, but then put the 7th frat in the tab and it should be the 8th (7th frat is E). But great job overall!
