    That is almost as bad as TabCrawler misspellings.

    Don't let the anti-TAB Fascists get to you. ;)

    Are you talking about the notes Cliff plays, or the actual sound of his bass? Cliff uses distortion and wah, but when I play it, I just use overdrive. The actual TAB is as follows:

    EDIT: Dammit! :mad: It won't line up properly on here and the file I posted looks like ass! If you have an e-mail address, PM me with it and I'll send it to you. :(

    Cliff uses wah and distortion. If you listen closely, you'll hear the bass for the intro lick, and for the rythm, they over dubbed 'em.
    First bit:

    D|----------------------17-16--------------
    A|---------------------------------17-16~-
    E|-----------------------------------------


    Guitar bit(irish sounding melody):

    G|-12-9-11---9-11-12-9-11---9-11-12-9-11-----
    D|---------12--------------12-------------12---
