This is only the first 2 bars of the song, but it's
better than nothing. Someone please figure the rest of it out!

This is what I figured out....not all may be right but it sounds right to
me....the first not is played a little flat....I have a 5 fretless and if you
play between the 4th and 5th fret on the E you can get the sound...but, if
you don't have a fretless don't fret (no pun intended) youcould always tune
down (which will screw you up later on in the song unless you re-transcribe
it) or if you have a hipshot that sould work if you can fix it to only drop
1/4 step. Good Luck.

E--4/5-------------------------------------------------
it does that twice in the beginning then it goes up to the following...the
open D's are the closest I can come to open C's...do what ever you want...I
put them in ( ).

G--19--19--17--16--17--17--19--17--16--17--G is between 8/9...here again fretlesses come in handy but
not necessary. This part's fast but it just trades off between two
notes......
G-----8/9-----8/9
D--7-------7------
then it just slides down from the A on the D
D--7\--4--X--X
here's some of the solo its all fast blurred triplets its not as hard as it
sounds.......
D----9--8--6-----------
A---------------9--8--6-
then it goes back up slowly these 8 notes or so are used throughout the solo
so if you can't tell what he's doing most likely it's around here...
D-----------------then faster 6--7--8--9--
A--6--7--8--9------------------------------------
this is the rest that I know...the 6 on the D is a fast sputter of multiple
notes but the 4/5's are relatively slow (between again...but only
sometimes...he'll either hit 4, 4/5, or 5 in this part...)
D--6-----
A---------
E----4--5 and when he moves up from the 4& 5 he's going to 7 on the E
good luck e-mail me for changes, additions, corrections and any of the shhet
music i asked if you had.......The JUCY @ AOL

Judging from the intro of this song Les probably uses a frettless 6-string
bass. For this part of the song that I posted you can use a standard
4-string fretted.If anyone figures out the rast of this song please post it.
