Kafka Bug Bass

(ver. 1)
Slaves On Dope

Pretty easy song, if you own a five string. But for those poor 
people like me and many others it´s hard to play the G because
it costs time to jump to the 8th fret on your B-tuned E-string!
But I think Frank plays a five-string, so I´ve tabbed it this way.
Play the Verse with same note lengths as the intro, although there 
are two more notes, otherwise you won´t get it right!

Intro:

G|---------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------4-4-4-2-2----------------------------------------------
E|-----------------3-3-------------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------

Repeat 3 times, then play this variation one time:

G|---------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------4-4-4-2-2-5-5------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------

Verse (singing starts): Play the intro, but with this variations:

Variation 1:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------4-4-4-2-2-5-5-4-4--------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------

Variation 2:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------
D|------------------3-3------------------------------------------
A|--------4-4-4-5-5-----5-5--------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------

Variation 3: Something close to this:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------4-4-4-2-2-----2h4--------------------------------------
E|------------------3-3------------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------

Chorus:

G|----------------|---------------------||-----------------------
D|----------------|---------------------||-----------------------
A|------2-----2---|---------------------||-----------------------
E|----------------|---------------------||-----------------------
B|--2-5---5-5---5-|--2--2-2-3--3-3-0-0--||-----------------------

After the second chorus play this:

1*intro-riff
1*intro-variation 1
6*intro-riff
     ||
     \/
after the guitar stops playing at 02:25 you play the intro-riff
two more times, then riff 1, then intro-riff 2 times and riff 2:

Riff 1:
G|---------------------|-----------------------------------------
D|---------------------|-----------------------------------------
A|---------------------|-----------------------------------------
E|--------5-5-5-----5-5|-------5-5-5-----5-5---------------------
B|--2-2-2-------2-2----|-2-2-2-------2-2-------------------------

Riff 2:
G|----------------------|----------------------------------------
D|----------------------|----------------------------------------
A|----------------------|--------2-2-2-5-5-4-4-------------------
E|--------5-5-5-----5-5-|----------------------------------------
B|--2-2-2-------2-2-----|--2-2-2---------------------------------


At the end of the song you just slow it down!

Note: Perhaps you have to listen to the song a few times to hear 
all variations.
