this is very easy....(only if you know how to read a tab)

Intro..
E I-----------------------------------------------3"tap"3-23-5"tap"5-I
A I---5"tap"5-0-45"tap"5-54-2"tap"2-0-2"tap"2-22---------------------I
D I------------------------------------------------------------------I
G I------------------------------------------------------------------I
(you can tap the guitar if you want, but if you ask me, you tap only the string you last played)

When the night...
E-I-------------------------------------------------------------------------I
D-I---0-45"tap"5-0-45"tap"5-54-2"tap"2-0-2"tap"2-22-------------------------I
G-I-------------------------------------------------------------------------I
A-I-------------------------------------------------------------------------I

E I-3"tap"3-23-5"tap"5---------------------------I
A I----------------------0-45"tap"5-0-45"tap"5---I
D I----------------------------------------------I
G I----------------------------------------------I

If you get confused by the "tap", here's another copy without the "tap":

Intro..
E I---------------------------------------------------------33-23-55-I
A I---55-0-455-54-22-0-22-22-----------------------------------------I
D I------------------------------------------------------------------I
G I------------------------------------------------------------------I
When the night..
E-I-----------------------------33-23-55---- ------------------------I
D-I---0-455-0-455-54-22-0-22-2-----------0-455-0-455-----------------I
G-I------------------------------------------------------------------I
A-I------------------------------------------------------------------I
play this again and again until the whole song is finished


(this plays great at an acoustic guitar but i haven't tried it in a bass)

If you want to sing along, i suggest you find a website that has this song, and play with it...
