This is a really pretty song.  But you don't really have to play the
octaves (the pops).  Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think they really
add much to the song on a real instrument.  Or maybe it's me, not the 
song.  Play 'em if you like :-D

I included a four-string version at the end.  It's less accurate, but
still fun to play along with the original song!

Five-string bass, standard tuning.
