It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish Bass

(ver. 2)
My Chemical Romance
I'm 100% sure this is correct; my bass teacher tabbed it out for me. I'll try to make it
clear as possible, it's really not that hard.

Standard Tuning, E, A, D, G

Intro:
Play this when Gerard says, "For what you did to me..." [0:08]

G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-|4-4|-----|0-0|-----|2-2|-----------------|
E|-------------------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4--|

The bass stops, and then play this when it kicks in [0:18]
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0-|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|----------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4-4-|


Verse:
Basically it's each note, [A4, A0, A2, E4] 16 times, it's the same thing like 
right after the intro.
Play this twice. [0:32]

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|----------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4-4--|

Pre Chorus:
This starts at "The damage you've inflicted..." and play each note 8 times, but half the
of the verse [0:51]

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|---------------|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0----|
E|---------------------------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|-------------------|

G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2--|
E|-----------------------------------|

This part is still the Pre Chorus, but the whole band plays this part together, and it's
"I'm taking back the life you stole..." [1:07]

G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------|
E|-|4-5-4-5|4h5p4-5--|

And then there's a rest, and play this at [1:11]

G|----------|
D|----------|
A|----------|
E|-|0-2|----|


Chorus:
The chorus is easy, play this at [1:14]

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------|6-6-6-6|6-6-6-6|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4--|
E|-|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|-------------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then you play it again once, but add A4 (C#) as an ending, so the second time you play
it looks like this. I don't really think I need to give you a time, it's obvious when to
it because it doesn't pause. But this is the second time it plays...

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------|6-6-6-6|6-6-6-6|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4--|
E|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|---------------------------------------------------|

G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|4-|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse:
Play the verse twice again, it starts at [1:37]

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2|-----------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4-4--|

Bridge:
This part is played different once, and then plays the same tempo as the verse. "~"
let the note ring out (whole note), and ";" means it's a half note instead of a quarter
So the first time which starts at "I will avenge my ghost" [2:00] is like this...

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------|2;-2-2|4~|--|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2--|
E|-|0;-0-0|5;-5-5|6;-6-6|---------|4~|---------------------------------|

After that part, the same notes are played but at half of the tempo as the verse,
each note 8 times, and you play that until the end of the song. This starts at [2:15] but the
doesn't pause, it just continues until the guitar part ends the song, but the bass 
so stop at [3:27]

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------|2-2-2-2|2-2-2-2----|
E|-|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|5-5-5-5|5-5-5-5|6-6-6-6|6-6-6-6|------------------|

G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|---------------|0-0-0-0|0-0-0-0|2-2-2-2|----------|
E|---------------|4-4-4-4|4-4-4-4|----------------------------------|
