Candy Bass

So, to begin, if I'm correct, Mark always played with two strings, the D and G bass
strings, and he put them
in the A and D spots on his bass, and he supposedly always played in the key of D when
it came to Morphine,
meaning that you should only use the D and G strings, and you should tune them to D and A.
 
I've found that playing on a guitar almost sounds the same, just tuning it to open D,
and only playing the
E and A strings, unless you want to experiment, then by all means, use the other strings.

I give credit for the correct Chorus and Sax Solo to JAStewart.
 
Of course, the entire song isn't just this "picking pattern", a lot of it's just improvised,
but this should get you started on this song at the very least. I only made this because the
other tabs weren't that helpful. One guy only used theD string, the other had the wrong tuning
and probably the wrong strings.
