Hint on the verse

The first few times it sounds like this count to me:

   1 + 2 + 3   4    1 + 2 + 3   4
G-------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------|
A-\5-5-5-5---------\5-5-5-5-----------|
D----------0---0-------------5---5----|

after the chorus it sounds more sixteenths and less 
slidey maybe a hammer on, and not a slide

   1 + 2 + 3   4    1 + 2 + 3   4
G------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------|
A-h55--5-5---------h55--5-5----------|
D----------0---0------------5---5----|

but i'm not sure, heck, I've only been doing this for 
a few months and I'm over my head.  thanks to my bass 
teacher, Ben, who did the work in figuring out this 
song from my cd.
