I decided to tab this song out after doing a search for it.  Whoever tabbed the bass
for this song originally did a horrible job and I decided to do something about it.
Feel free to contact me if you find any errors or corrections.  The song follows some
very basic reagge bass patterns and is a lot of fun to play.
