Oh yeah, dont friggin complain about the lyrics, this is a bass tab, if you want the
lyrics so bad, go to lyrics.com or something.

  Anyway, heres the tab:
Tuning:
F             there arent any plucks or slaps in this one (at least i dont think)
C            but he does a bunch of stacatto notes (where its just a quick note),
G            You'll know what im talking about cuz I'll put a . above the stacatto
C            notes.
