Les plays this song on his bass banjo, but I will tab it for a four-string 
fretted electric bass.

There are slight ad libs in this song that I did not tab out. A lot 
of ad libs I did tab out, like in riffs 4 and 5, but it would take 
to long to tab the song note for note. 

*There is a slight variation in Riff 2 the last time it is played.

If you have any comments or corrections please tell me. I hope 
this tab helped. This is a great song and a really fun song to play. 
Thanks and enjoy!!!
