To Bid You Farewell Bass

(ver. 1)
Opeth
Notes: This tab is mostly complete and kinda correct. I left out some 
licks and odd notes here and there, but if you can play this song you 
should damn well be able to improvise the missing parts.

Things would be so much easier if everyone had a 5-string bass. Since 
not everyone does (myself included), I tabbed the song for 4-strings, 
with a dropped D-tuning.
