(Elaboration is welcome)

\=slide up*
/=slide down*
H=hammer
P=pulloff

Probably the most articulate bass line ever (in DMB), so enjoy!

Don't forget, 7/4 time :)

Oh, you need a high-C string as well. Capo at 5th fret if you have a
4-string, and play as though the capo is the 0-fret.

Pre-chorus riff:

(The D being on the open string will make sense once you start repeating it)

Rep 4 times. Then back to the chorus/intro riff.


So, that's that. Hope you enjoy!
