Just by listening to the song and jamming on my bass, I'm fairly sure I've
figured out the bass parts. Email me corrections if you've got a better idea
than me. I suggest listening to the song as you play the notes to get a 
proper feel for the rhythm because for the most part this tab will only give 
you a basic idea of how it should go. Watch the video above if you need a hand 
with learning how it goes.

Tuning: Standard (EADG)

Intro:
                         x2                 x2                 x2
G|------------------------|------------------|------------------|
D|------------------------|-9--9---9--9--9-9-|------------------|
A|-10--10---10--10--10-10-|------------------|-7--7---7--7--7-7-|

Repeat entire intro x6, finishing on

D|-------12----------12---------|
A|-10----------10---------------|
E|------------------------------|

Repeat the whole chorus twice.


Verse:
Next part I'm calling the verse for want of a better name for it. This part 
doesn't have much bass in it, but here's what I picked up. On the words:
"...boldly bald...", "...cousin Bucky kept..." in the first part, play

G|----------------------|
D|-----12------12-------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|

And repeat for the every line of the verse at those parts. If you have a 
listen to the song you'll hear the note being played.

G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-10--10-10-10-10-10--10-10-10-10-10--10-10-|
