now here is where it becomes unclear. Troy plays down at the 3rd and 7th for the chorus 
plays a different fill in between chords than the guitars do.

as of now, i cannot figure it out, so i will simply tab the guitar's way of playing the 
(for bass of course).

and now this is another place i get stuck. Troy smacks the low C then slides up to the 
and hits a C on what appears to be the 15th fret, he does this a
few times but i am not sure of it nor the following riffs so i will not tab them, sorry.
