Hey, bass tab for Muscle Museum, hope this is useful :-)
 
INTRO
The intro is made up entirely of quavers (eight notes), walking along F#m, C# and F#
then climbing down and up Bm.

BRIDGE
The first two measures both have a semiquaver-semiquaver-quaver
(sixteenth-sixteenth-eight notes) for the first beat then rest for the other three, then
the third measure is
all in semiquavers (sixteenth notes). The fourth and final measure is semiquavers for
the first three beats, then a crotchet (quarter note) for beat 4. On measure four it reads
'12' and not '1' and '2'.

FIRST CHORUS
The first chorus is a 12 measure part. I will write note durations under the tab to save
time. C stands for crotchet or quarter note, Q stands for quaver or eighth note and S
stands for semiquaver or sixteenth note.

SECOND CHORUS AND FINAL RIFF
 
The second chorus is exactly the same as the first eight bars of chorus one. On the
final riff, assume any note which I have not written the duration for to be a
quaver/eighth note.
