YES I KNOW, BRIAN GIBSON USES CELLO TUNING ON HIS BASS, BUT THIS IS A STANDARD TUNING
FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T BE BOTHERED MOST OF THE TIME TO DROP TUNE.
Intro:
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------17-17-17-17-------17----------17----------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|-15-15-15-------------15-15----15-15-15----15-15-15-|
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-12-12-12-12-13-13-13-13-14-14-14-14-15-15-15-15-|
Repeat around twice before it goes up an octave for the builup thing (is you haven't got
whammy pedal).
G|-0-0-0-12-12-12-0-0-12-0-0-0-12-0-0-0-|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|

The rest of the song:
Right, the rest is pretty much these 2 riffs, switch between them as in the song. Cos

A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-|
and

Finally, the ending:

A|-------|
E|-/15---|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|

Last note!
G|-------|
D|-------|
A|-------|
E|-/15---| hold that to end it.
Have fun, hope this saves you some drop tuning without losing too much of the original
quality. Mess about with your EQ a bit if it doesn't sound too good, go for heavy bass in
main riffs, but a more trebly sound in the intro and ending.
