This bass tab of bottom should be extremely close to the recorded version.
There were a few sections where I couldn't exactly hear what Paul was playing
(the bar before the first verse), so you can improvise if you want.
In the quiet section with Henry Rollins let the low D's ring out.
It's easier to play this song with a pick, because of the chords and natural
harmonics. 

key

h = hammer on
p = pull off
x = purcussive note
