What I've learned is that you can't have things
handed to you in life. I was hoping someone else would
tab this, but, of course, noone did. So I took it upon
myself! Anyways...to the song...
Stefan Lessard is considered one of the best bassists
out there. This song shows just how much talent he
really has. The Intro might take you awhile to get,
but once you do, it sounds great.
You could never possibly get every note in this song,
and this is the way I play it. It doesn't sound as
good as it really should, but it's a start, just
feed off of this. IMPROV IS A MUST!
NOTE: Tab taken off Listener Supported!!!

Ahh, the Improv part. There's only two constant things
during the verse variations, and here they are. The
rest is up to you. Screw around with it, that's my
favorite part.

Only part I'm baffled on is what Stefan does to go back into
the verse after his improv. What I do is just hold the note
back into it.
