The "p"s mean to "pop" the string, i.e. pull it up very quickly to get
a percussive sound. And yes, I know the outro is a bit long but I think
people who say "play it slightly differently each time" are too lazy to
tab things out and should be taken into a field and shot.

The guy who played this originally may have used a 5-string bass,
because some of the stretches seem a bit far for a 4-string. However,
I've put up with the stretches and tabbed it for 4-string because even
if you do have a 5-string, the bottom string will probably be tuned to
B, and if the guy did use a 5 sting then it will have been the top string
that was tuned to B. Have fun playing this; it's a classic!
