Ok... I just heard Palm Grease for the first time and the bass is amazing. Does anyone have the tab?

Saw this thread while trying to find out whether the drums are in 9 + 7/8 or 4/4 (found it transcribed in 4/4 and settled for that), and apologies in advance for bumping an almost 5 year old thread.
