^This.

At least that's what I hear, and play.

I've looked for the bass sheet music, recently-to no avail.

Here's a video lesson that might get you started. This guy is good...

I'm going from memory here, so listen to it on the yootoobes and noodle along until you get a feel for it.

Assuming you're doing the song in A, just stay there until the break/stops. Solo goes up to C. Stay there until the break/stops.
Breaks are chromatically descending from G to an open E. Stare at your drummer to get a feel for how he times those, and watch his hands.

Rinse, repeat.
