As you all know, the bass parts are somewhat hard to decipher so, |
Use your best judgement when playing this song. I know I fucked the chorus part |
Because of the picking being used. I just can't hear what the hell he's doing! |
If you can make it out... hell, you let ME know! |

Although this part has the higher-registered Chapman Stick licks in it,
I wont transcribe it because it can only be done using a 6 string which I dont have.
It can also be done on the guitar but, I'll just have to send that part to a Guitar-Tab site.
(this part is picked somewhat lightly)

Here's a little treat for you Bass players who actually have the balls to take the |
forefront. You'll need a 24 fret neck to do this or a 6 string bass. |
I use a Yamaha TRB-4 24 fretter. Stuff like this is always fun at the music store. |
This is the acoustic guitar intro transposed to bass using the two-hand technique. |
Remember: this intro piece is mostly all right hand technique. |
The two-hand technique is made up of all hammer-on's and pull-off's. |
Have fun and don't loose any hair trying this. It's all about fun baby! [ PT ] |

No "Tab-ware" programs were used in any way, shape or form to tab this.
This was all blood-sweat-tears from the ears baby! I'll be tabbing out a lot of
TOOL basslines pretty soon.
