This song is a cover that Primus did of The Residents song 
Constantinople. It was origan*lly played by Primus live and was 
then put on the single cds of some of their songs. It was recently 
released as a bonus trackon the remastered version of their second
Cd, Frizzle Fry. I'm not sure whether les uses a four string or a six 
string - or a fretted or fretless bass. I have a 5 string fretless, 
and this seems to sound perfect :
                                                    
(the notes are tapped on the fretboard)

1I - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (see  comment below)- - - - -

After you play the first part 4 times the guitar comes in and 
when it does you continue to play the same pattern - and 
with your right hand you tap from somewhere around the
12th fret up to the last fret on the first string (12- - -21?)
and then start back at 12 again. You play it with the added 
notes about 4 times also.

(notes still are tapped  the fretboard)

I'm sorry If I got the number of times you play a not or verse wrong or 
something, because I'm not infront of my stereo, I'm just infront of my bass.
