Recommended Tunings: 5 string Bass with your 5th string as a Low D.
Standard Tuning
An Effects Pedal Of some sort
Tune your E string down to D (whole step)
Notes: You don't really need to hit those low octave notes. It isn't THAT big
of a deal but I will try to figure out the correct tab for those notes
later.

Verse
The first section is played an octave lower but since we don't have access
to a 5(6) string, these are the right notes.
