It's on my list to learn too but not for a couple of weeks yet. I'll see if I can work it out and let you have a copy.

A good starting point with transcribing is to start with a chord chart which you can get from a tab site for guitar and just play roots on the changes while playing along, this should give you a starting point for working out the structure or at least enables you to jam along until you have the proper bass line. I always get the chord changes down then start looking at the the individual bass figures within the song - most rock songs have a verse figure and a chorus figure and a few bits to join up the sections and a bridge.

Have a go and see how far you get - it's a great feeling when you start copping licks by ear.

Its a very easy bassline, simple but effective. Try and suss it by ear. They arent tuned down so concert pitch and youll be there.

the basic verse notes are :

A - C# - D - B - E

then :

C# - F# - C# - F# - C#

then chorus :

F# - C# - D# - G#

then it moves the pattern up two frets - then after the middle bit it moves up two more frets

you should be able to work out all the other notes from there if you want to make it more fancy
