Zig Zag Wanderer

[Zuntir]

Hi,
I'm kinda new to bass and I've been trying to figure out bass in Zig Zag Wanderer by Captain Beefheart. I found a few tabs but they don't seem to match. Could anyone be so kind and maybe post a recording or a GuitarPro tab that would help me?

Cheers,

A simple youtube search provides a recording.

Don't know if you've tried these tabs yet. http://www.bigbasstabs.com/captain_beefheart_bass_tabs/zigzag_wanderer.html

You can jump, you can holler
Never lose what I found
Heaven's free 'cept for a dollar

You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around

The zig zag wanderer had a zigzag child
Zig zag traveller for the mercy mile
Found his wheels and nature scene
Quenched his thirst, in a way it never been
Zig zag wanderer
