Thanks to Bmarley211@aol.com as his Anthem Part 2 Bass Solo helped me figure out the whole of this song (even though his tab was wrong!)

Intro
(00:00 – 00:37)

Then

E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-

E|-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13 ç Play 5 times

On last time, don’t play as many E|-13’s. Just play a few hard ones.

Now play this: (From here on known as the main riff)
(00:37 – 01:05)
E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13

Now play a sort of mini solo:
(01:05 – 01:09)
A|--7-------5--------3
E|5---5--3----3--1----

Now play the main riff again a few times.
(01:10 – 01:28)

Then the “mini solo”
(01:28 – 01:32)

Now the chorus: (we really need to see this through…)
(01:33 – 01:49)

E|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-

E|10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10

Play this three times then play:

E|5-5-5-5--8

Back to the main riff
(01:49 – 02:17)

Then the mini solo and the chorus again.
(02:17 – 02:37)

Bass solo!!!!:
(02:38 – 03:06)

E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 X3

E|8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13 X1

Then just loads of

E|-8’s.

Now play the chorus again.
(03:06 – 03:22)

Finally the outro:
(03:22 – 03:40)

E|8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-5-5-5-5-13-13-13-13-

Play this until song ends.

As you will have noticed there are no G or D strings. This is because I don’t use them in this song and they were just taking up space.

Finally, you will have also noticed that in all but one of the sections, I use the E String on it’s own. This is because I think it sounds best but feel free to play using the E & A Strings if you want (it’s easier!). Just remember that E| 5 = A| 0 and E| 8 = A| 3 etc.
