This repeats for a while,

then at about 3:59 the whole sound of the song drops

and technically the bass stops too,

but you can carry on quietly playing the first riff if you wish,

until the song completely fades out and the lovely rain starts.

There you have it!

An amazing song, and I tried my hardest to get the bassline to a decent standard

for you guys to jam along to, I'm no bassist and this is my first tab,

so take it easy on me!
