Hi!
To start with, I'd like to thank my Bass teacher, because I'm not so good at 
so I needed some help^^
(By the way: I'm sorry for the mistakes in my English, I'm from Germany^^)

~: The note is hold until the next note is played, even if there's a new bar
r: rest

It's an easy song to play and you can listen to the guitar for the rhythm most of the 
You can also use the Drop C tuning, if you want to play the high C's in the intro and the 
an octave lower.
Tuning: F C G D (high to low)

Ok,enough said, let's go:
