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
In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5rGm3kdTuk
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.

Same in this video at 1:28 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vImyP5EYc8
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 🙂
