For this Tab I’m greatly indebted to the user [lifesucks2909], whose Chord-Tab for this Song served as
a template to the Bass-Tab here. I mainly had to add the passing notes in the Chorus and the Interludes.
The Key of the Song is, as in the Youtube-Version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9h3KUtaIc), in A#
*Short Version at the End
[Piano Intro] x2
(In case you want to imitate that)
A# Cm Gm (*)
G|-------3-----3---|-------5-----5---|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-------5-----5---|
A|-1-----1-----1---|-3-----3-----3---|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-3-----3-----3---|
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
(*) here you could also play the (G) one octave higher and add the 5th (D on G-string)
**From then on the bass is pretty much straight forward 8th notes (as you can hear from the song)
**And Note that the Parts go pretty much straight into each other
[Verse 1]
“Don’t you know how busy and important I am?.....”
