this'll make it a little easier. |-86464-4------------------------------4-4------------| |------6-646-64-4--------------------46-6--646-4-4-44-| |--------------6-6-6464-4242------246-----------6-----| |---------------------------42--24--------------------|

Call me crazy, but it sounds like the bass goes up an octave in the "horn/bass/guitar harmony" riff. Something like: |-------------------------------------16--18-19-20---| |---------6----------------------16-18---------------| |-----6----9-------14---16-17-18---------------------| |-7--7-9-9---14-16-----------------------------------|

A little clarity might be needed throughout the entire tab it will make easier to read, it's a great tab though but in that section titled "Now the hard part" |-86464-4-----------------------------1414-1-1--------| |------6-646-64-4-------------------14------4--414-44-| |--------------6-6-6464-4242------24------------------| |---------------------------42--24--------------------| It could look like -14-14- or -1-4-1-4-, some people won't know
