The one with a 5 star rating has some parts that are wrong. The whole outro for example. Also the note being strummed before the outro is an F, not a G. I believe my tab is more accurate.

Difficulty:	beginner
Tuning:	E A D G

I know people like to avoid open strings but IMO this actually sounds better using open G string instead of 5th fret on the D, if you have heavy gauge strings anyway. Peter Hook famously uses a very heavy gauge G string and I am pretty sure he plays it that way too. You can see Jack Bates playing it that way here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAivnJNONJU Both are correct of course, but try it with the open string and see if you like the tone more - I did in this case. Might depend on your specific bass and strings too of course, but it is worth a try.

Very well! This tab helped me a lot!

Shouldn't this be: G|-8-888888----------|-------------------| D|----------5-55-555---------|--5-55-555-| A|-----------|------------------5-55-----|E|-------------------|-6-666666----------|G|-------------------|-8-888888-787------|-------------------|D|----------5-55-555-|-------------5-555-|---------------555-|A|-------------------|-------------------|----------5--------|E|-6-666666----------|-------------------|-6-666666--860-----|
