Classic rock bassists

Asking the classic rock bassists: Anyone have a correct tab/notation for “Jump Into The Fire” by Harry Nilsson? The only bass tab I can find for it has it starting in D3, and that just sounds way too high to me. I always thought that was maybe a drop-D or even a BEAD tuning. Thoughts?



DAT BASSLINE, THO!!!

Low tuning didn't exist when that was recorded, so it wasn't D2. Neither the bass cabs or the stereos of the day would handle D2, especially the primary playback systems of the day, car radios.
