Note:
Thus far I haven’t seen a single correct bass tab of this song.
The verse has been seriously messed up in many different tabs.
Hence, I decided to write one myself.
Also note that the bass line in the verse looks and sounds awkward.
But it is the version that Bones Hillman played in all his concerts
with the Oils (at least those I know) and he's not messing it up
every concert.
If you listen very well, you hear it on the CD too.
Check the 1993 MTV Unplugged version to see and hear what I mean:
