Lyrics
Tuning is drop B. I think the song is origionally for the 5 string bass,
but this tab is for a 4 string bass.
The corresponding lyrics are below each tab...should be accurate.
(very beginning)

"Ya click your heels 3 times! Imagination runs wild!"
"Ya can't generalize!"
(pre-chorus) play twice
E--------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-5-------------------2--------------------------------0------|
B--------------------------------------5-----------------------|
"So be sure that you are makin' the best of what"
"that you have. The truth is all within yourself!"
(chorus)
NOTE: 55 AND 22 ARE JUST 5TH AND 2ND FRET REALLY QUICKLY
AND NOT 55TH AND 22ND FRET...THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE!
E--------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-3-55-3-55-3-55-3-55-0-22-0-22-0-22-0-22---------------------|
B------------------------------------------3-55-3-55-3-55-3-55-|
"Don't be....................................a slave!"
E----------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------|
F#---0----2----3----4 get ready to hit 5-|
B-55---55---55---55----------------------|
"A slave to someone else!"
Use the same tabs as the opening, pre chorus and chorus for the next
few parts. The only exception is after "It will mesmerize!" the tab
changes a bit and is like this:
E--------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------3-3-3-|
F#-5-----------3-5--5-------------5-----------3-5--5-4-3-------|
B----0-3-4-5-5--------3-4-5-5-4-3---0-3-4-5-5------------------|
"It's pleasure power that's what we devour! You can have it crystallize!"
Keep following the same tabs as above until "Question is...", where
the bass part is like this:
E--------7--------5--------5--------7--------|
B-----7--------5--------5--------7-----------|
F#-5--------3--------3--------5--------------|
B--------------------------------------------|
"Question is, when it's all done..."
"Who will stand? and who will run?"
E--------7--------5--------5--------7--------|
B-----7--------5--------5--------7-----------|
F#-5--------3--------3--------5--------------|
B--------------------------------------------|
"The answer is on my tongue!"
"I won't be a slave to anyone!"
It then goes back to the same tabs as the very beginning,
but they are slightly different and go like this:
E------------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------|
B--------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
E------------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------|
B----------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
The rest of the parts should all still be identical until the closing
part, which uses the opening tabs a bit differently again:
E------------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-5-----------3-5-5---------------5-----------3-5-5---------------|
B----0-3-4-5-5-------0-3-4-5-5-4-3---0-3-4-5-5-------0-3-4-5-5-4-3-|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
F#-5-----------3-5-5---------------5-----------3-5-5--5-4-3-------|
B----0-3-4-5-5-------0-3-4-5-5-4-3---0-3-4-5-5--------------------|
