Tuning: Standard
Alright, this song was a bitch. This tab isnt complete I know, I tabbed the intro
wich is pretty much repeated through half the song, the verses and a bit more. Its
not perfect and it's missing a few details, so I'll leave it to you guys to figure
it out. If you come up with something leave it at the comment section or email me and
I'll give you credit for it. Its a fun song and really tricky to learn but you'll feel
like a badass once you do.
Intro
Ok the tricky part here is how uncofortable is to play this notes. Esmond either
plays on a six sting bass or the neck of his bass is confortable enough to play this.
Either way is easier to play this on a six string bass, but sadly I dont own one.

Verse:
Note: Im in doubt in this next part. If you listen to the record it sounds different
from the rest of the song. I thought maybe he is playing the same notes in a different
order and maybe even omiting a few notes, but when you watch live records it seems like
he is doing the same thing as the other verse. So if you figure out what he is doing,
let me know. For now I'll just leave it like its the same as the other verse.

Chorus:
Note: I dunno what the hell is going on here. But if he is following the band and
not playing around he may be doing something like this:
Hold each note
G|-----------|----------|----------|---------|----------|----------|----------|------------|
D|-5----5----|--4----4--|--3----3--|-2----2--|--1----1--|--0---0---|--0----0--|--0\7---7\12|

Ok my ears are failing me by now. After this I can hear some of the notes but I can't tell for sure
I'll work more on it once I get some free time and upload the rest. Do comment your suggestions.
Enjoy.
