Don't have the tab but you can buy the piano score here and work it out from that

OK, here's what a lot of bass players do...

Play the root note. That's it. Or play the root note of the chord in the measure; or the 3rd (or b3rd if it's a minor chord) and/or 5th. There are a bunch of combinations with R 3 5. You just can't go wrong.

Bb......Cm
Sunrise Sunrise
Bb.................Eb
Looks like morning in your eyes
Cm.................Eb.Ab.Eb
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Gm7.....Cm
Sunrise Sunrise
Bb......................Eb
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cm...........Eb........Ab............Eb
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

But looking at the sheet music, it looks like it's just R on each measure...

Enlarge the score and you'll see what I mean. It's just the root of the chord in each measure. And as Wally said, you can buy the sheet from either musicnotes.com or sheetmusicdirect.us. Sometimes you have no other choice. But before ponying up $3.99 I would work out the bass line from the root note of the chords. It looks like that's all it is.
