I found the already existing bass tab as trascribed by Kieren Walters a
little bit difficult to follow if not perhaps inaccurate in parts. Well
I didn’t get the album out, but this is how I play it and I think it’s a
little more straight forward and you ought to get some mileage out of
it. I mean no offense Kieren, anyone who would take the time to
contribute to this cause is ok by me.

The Bb7+ is played like this: (This is an augmented dominant 7th chord)
(meanining it has a sharp 5 and a flat 7)
(very hip)
e—x————
b—9———— pinky
g—9———— ring
d—8———— middle
a—x————
e—8———— first finger
The Abm7 in the bridge, I think is correct but I’m not really sure.
