as well as the recording on 'emergency & i' i based this around the stems that the
band uploaded for the remix compo a few years ago
you can hear them here https://soundcloud.com/the-dismemberment-plan/sets
the rhythm of the bassline bears no resemblance to the spacing of the numbers on this tab
figure it out by listening
there are probably minor errors but nothing that is detectable without listening hard
verse 1 and 2

the 7b8 (hold 7 and bend up a semitone) you can hear on the stems they uploaded but i'm not 100% he
actually does this on every verse on the song. sometimes it sounds like just '7 8'
every second time the last bit goes

[Post-Chorus]
i normally play it
G|-x-x-|
D|-x-x-|
A|-x-7-|
E|-x-0-| x4
but on the stems it sounds more like
G|-x-0-|
D|-x-x-|
A|-x-7-|
E|-x-0-| x4
or maybe even
G|-x-0-|
D|-x-0-|
A|-x-0-|
E|-x-0-| x4
verse 3 and outro
it goes a bit nutty here and it's hard to figure out what's going on
when you slide up to the 17/A don't actually play it with your plucking/picking hand
