When i originally posted this tab it was tabbed assuming the bass was
tuned down half a step. However it appears that i neglected to mention
this i will now. TUNE DOWN HALF A STEP.

The person who version replaced mine was correct about the tuning but
neglected to put in any of the fills which Mike plays.

Play in order shown.
