I have seen a lot of bass tabs for this song over time, but none of them have
seemed completely correct.  I decided to tab this out to put the correct version
out there.  I found this tab in a "Guitar" magazine from Jan '98, and since they
are usually completely correct, I am totally confident that this tab is totally
correct.  If not, oh well, tab it yourself.
