"The Walls Came Down" by The Call--bassline

Here's a fairly simple, but busy bassline in which you must keep the 8th notes very steady. As you can tell, it's basically the same finger pattern on the different strings, in somewhat of a tricky way. If playing along, you'll need to tune the strings up a little, cuz to A=440 tuning, it's a bit flat.
