This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This part is great once you've learned to play it well.It can be

played on guitar a well as bass: it both sounds cool.

In the song it is played on a guitar.

I am practically sure this is a correct version.

Tune E down to D

Note: Listen to the song to get the timing right

(I didn't include timing, but it's rather simple)
