Bass Play Magazine just release this song in their woodshed section. Seeing it made me seriously reconsider what was on the internet about this song. Version 1 of this song is absolutely wrong. As far as I can tell this tab is fairly correct. I was not sure what to think, but watching Rob play it, there is no way it is anything like version 1. The magazine has the lines like this though. Verse - E|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--6-6-5--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--3-3-2-3--0-0-0--6-6-5--0--2--3--3--4 Fill - E|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--6-6-5--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--3-3-2-3--0-0-0--0-0-0--6-6-5-6-5~---
