This is leaving out the tons and tons of ghost notes use generously
thorughout the song. This is pretty accurate as far as playing the
song recognizably.

Okay, this is all that really needs to be tabbed, I think. If someone
really can't figure out the last few bars of the song, just combine
verse 2 and the chorus' harmonics plus the playing around in the key
of E up high on the top two strings.

*Bend pitch up with bass tuner or bend string behind the nut
Tabbed by Scott Martin.
All of what you have tabbed is correct except the main riff. I saw Les play this on the Brown tour. *= harmonic h= hammer on G -------5*------------------5*-----------------------------6-----------9--| D ----------5*------------------5*-----------------------------------------| A ----------------------------------7*----------------0--4h-----0--7h------| E ----0-------------------0----------------------12/-----------------------| G -----------5*-------5*------------| D -------5*---------------5*--------| A -----------------------------7*---| E ---0------------0-----------------| In the middle of the song you hear that there is a bend on a harmonic, and all you have to do yo do that is just push down on the string past the nut on your bass.
Tabbed by Bjorn Holstrom with help from Tamas Viktor.
First, big thanks to Tamas Viktor for his great midi-version of this
song. Most of this tab was possible because of him. This tab is also
a mixture of different other sources, I've tried to make it resemble
the way les claypool does it...but it's hard cause he plays it
different each time. Well, enjoy:
a.h = harmonic
\ = slide to lower note
/ = slide to higher note
V = strum downwards
^ = strum upwards
X = muted note
4 beats/bar
slap/pop all notes when there's no other instructions like strum or such
