Listen to the song to get the rhythm correct because the bass line is just a
touch jerky.
Very simple, but often simplicity is best. Anyone remember "Sister Ray" by
The Velvet Underground?? Three chords for seventeen minutes. Genius.
If anyone else likes Belle & Sebastian or anything then e-mail me at
