There is a lot of controversy on this song on how it's played.
There are two main points, first is whether it goes E-D-A or to E-D-Db/C#
I think it is the latter.
This video at 2:03 and again at 2:15 shows cliff playing the Db/C#

The second is how to play the fast bit from B-Ab-B-A-B-A#-B-B
we can see Cliff Williams play it around the 2nd fret, not with the pinky on the 7th of the E.

This video is an isolated bass track of Cliff playing. He changes up some stuff from the record, but he does do the "pointless" jump from 2 on the A to 7 on the E so that he can slide out.

also it looks like towards the end at the bridge he plays the riff with the guitars off the 7th fret, but I can't quite tell because there are only a few frames that show it.

I like playing it from the 7th on the E a lot better personally. You can choose yourself how you want to play it, but I did it in the video as I think Cliff did, though it it quite tricky to do that way.

In the chorus, the 16th rhythm could probably be written using triplets if it's easier to read. I wrote it out so the start of the beat is clear (rather than dotted eighth notes).

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

As amazing as this song is the baseline is very easy and simple but at the same time great and amazing cliff Williams doesn't get the credit that he deserves when it comes to being the bass player for AC/DC he's underated in my book.

Thanks man I really appreciate you putting this up! Was having trouble with the bluesy lick after the solo but this clarified it for me. This tune and album are truly timeless.

Paul Gilbert has just revealed a startling discovery about the bass part in this song. Listen very carefully and you will notice that the lowest note of the chromatic, ascending, turnaround in the verses is not a G#, but a G! The guitars play a G#, but the bass is a G. Amazing!

Thanks for posting, just heard this on a movie soundtrack and yours is first tab I’ve seen. Solo looks tricky for a learner (18 months in) but going to give it a try 😎👍🏼
