 For this bass tab, the bassline is simple, single notes. So I have put chord names over 
top of lyrics, but (instead of chords) they represent bass notes.

Intro:
G|-------|-------|-------|-------|
D|-------|-------|-------|-------|
A|-------|-------|-------|-------|
E|-3-----|-3-----|-3-----|-3-----|

    A                               G
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
The Night...                     ...in my ears.

    A                               G
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
   City screams...                ..twenty years.

 For the "I'm the omegaman" parts, the bass plays ringing G bass notes every other bar. 
it would be First bar:G [rings through second bar] Third Bar:G [rings through fourth 
etc.)

 I think that's the best way for me to describe it, anyway. Here's the lyrics and notes:

Intro: G

    A                                   G
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
A                                  G
City screams are all Ive heard in twenty years
    A                                G
The razors edge of night, it cuts into my sleep
  A
I sit upon the edge now
        G
Shall I make that leap?

G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman

    A                              G
The skys alive with turned on television sets
  A                                 G
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
    A                              G
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
    A                             G
The edge of time closes down as I disappear

G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
G              A         C
Always talking to myself
Oh!

Solo: Same as verses (A G A G etc)

    A                                     G
The time thats best is when surroundings fade away
    A                               G
The presense of another world comes close to me
     A                              G
Its time for me to throw away this paper knife
    A                           G
Im not alone in reaching for a perfect life

G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
G            G
Im the omegaman
