This is pretty basic, mainly just the root notes of the chords played by the
 guitars. During chorus 3 you can hear him do some fills leading into the
cadences, but I can’t pick up the exact phrases, so I just improvise as I go
 along, which sounds just as good when you learn a few good fills and put
them in randomly.

I think this is a pretty good basic tab for the bass to play in this song. As you said not exact, but still a good starting point for any hobby player and a good building block for any cover. 4 stars from me.
