The old tab for this song (by Nathan Welton) was partially right, but the
verse wasn't included, and a few notes were missing. This is my intepretation
of the song, I think it is pretty close to 100% accurate. I have only been
playing Bass for about half a year, so I could be off. There are different
ways you can play it, but this is how I do it, and it sounds decent.
The parenthesis indicates variations that may (or may not) be played.

It's easiest to use 3 fingers on this part, I'm willing to bet that Les does
too.

Sorry, messed this part up the first time, these are the correct notes:

A |------7-10--------------10--------------------7-5-----|

There are a few variations Les does, you can probably figure them out. They
are usually before he hits the C note (3 on A). Here is the outro, in which
he does a slight variation: (variations are in parentheses)
(Les yeehaa's)

This one is played on a banjo bass, but of course it sounds fine on an
electric. It should be real easy to piece the parts of the song together if
you want to play it all the way through. It's also a good song for
practicing vocals while playing, especially if you haven't been playing long
(like me).
