4.0 / 5 (4x)

It's not necessarily the right way to play it, it has a few add—ins, a slide here, an extra 
note there, but it makes it sound really cool.

Chorus

There you go, it probably sounds better played with a felt pick, or if you can, finger
picked. It's not 100% the way the bassist in Tonic Plays it, but it IS close, and I think
it sounds just as good. The notes are correct at least, and I tried to put in accurate timing.
Enjoy!

Sorry, but none of this is right. The song is played half a step down (the low Eb is played regularly throughout) which throws every note in this tab off a fret. But even if this were the correct tuning, none of the riffs are accurate.

For instance, the pre-verse after the opening chorus is:
Tabs:
G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A|-2---2---r-----------------------|-------------------------0-------|
E|-----------------2---2---r-------|-5---5---r---3-----0-2-3---3-2-0-|
...1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
