This song is a classic!The best part is it's fun to play both on bass
and if you have 2 guitar players it should defininately be covered.
In the beginning part with just bass and when the guitar comes in there's
something you might want to try.When I play it every other note has a very
slight bend to it in the A notes.Like This
b b b
G------------------
D------------------
A--------------5-3-
E--5-5-5-5-5-5-----
That's how I do it.Just simply playing the note sounds good,too.It might
be right just playing it anyways.
The Verse
When verse starts Then everytime after
G-----------------|---------------
D-----------------|---------------
A-------------5-3-|-----------5-3-
E-0-5---5---5-----|-5---5---5-----

There's part part in the middle when the guitar just plays a D.THe bass
just goes off.Since you are reading this you all are pros at bass,right.
I always just make it up and D scale up the neck.Whatever you do is fine,
cause this the bass lead,and havin fun and doin your thing is what it's about
The ending of that D run ends just like the chorus
G-----------------------------------
D-----------------------------------
A----------------------------------3
E-0----------------------3----------
And the rest is just verse and chorus.I think so anyways.Anything you don't
understand,either listen to the song,or if you can't figure it out after that,
then e-mail me.====
