|-----0--0------0-0--0------0-------------------10-10-10-10--11-11-11-11-|

(Then verse is repeated but don’t do bass solo. then chorus is repeated)
Also i didnt have enough space for the tens thats y they overlap. dont play the two tens 
r seperate on each string.

|------0------0--------0-0-----------1/12\1------------------------------|

SOLO: ok i havnt done this properly i dont get the first part but where the guitars do 
cool riff in betwen heres the bass for it:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---5--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------5--7--5-7-7—5b----7---5--7----------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------5---------------7b---5b----------------------------------|
|------5---7-------7--5--7-----------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then just make up something random or improvise or summin nick oliveri is way to advanced for me. ^_^

|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------7-----------8-----------7---------------------------------|
|-------0-0------0-0-0------0-0-0-----------------1/---------------------|

Play this and repeat the verse. then the slides and then the intro is repeated at the 
again listen to track for timing and crap u get the idea.

This is my first tab so dont b too hard also i dont play bass i play guitar and drums. 
thought i wud hav a shot at this tab.
