Bass TAB in the keys of Cm and E♭m like the original song, in 4/4 time, tabbed for a 4-string bass in 
standard EADG tuning. This is my personal interpretation of the bassline.

|--|--|--|--| = 8th note measures (i.e. for 8th notes, half notes, and whole notes).
|-----|-----| = 16th note measures (i.e. 8th note measures zoomed in to allow for spacing 16th notes).

* = The previous note is silenced.      
x = A muted string is played without pressing any note.
m = The marked note is played muted.


[Intro] It starts in the key of Cm. The 16th note rest after every two 8th notes gives it a double 
staccato effect.

[Verse 1] I first play the C and B♭ on the A string for more brightness and then on the E string for 
more power.
