x = ghost note
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
= closed harmonic [put a finger firmly down on 2, harmonic lightness for 6]
[place fingers RIGHT before the fret (or right on the note for fretless)]
h = hammer on
tr = trill
^ = vibrato
Technically you can play this without a 5-string bass, you'll just miss
a few notes. But, of course, a 5-string IS useful. I do not have a 5-string,
but i wrote where the notes should go. My ear is pretty good, and I can
identify most notes and get them down, but the opening part and the B string
notes may be off; I doubt it though.
This tab covers the main little riff you hear at the beginning, and the lower
bass part of the song. The higher bass part is fairly easy to solo over if you
want to, but I just included the low end for now.

* Victor does not play this harmonic,
but I thought it would be a cool
ending. Do as you will.
PLAY TOO ..
