This figure is most of the tune with the notes in parenthesis being the end of the hook
going back into the verse REPLACING the last two C#'s [ the x99's ]
G|------------7-9-----------------------|

The groove changes to this mid verse, and then goes back to the first figure after 2 times.
*There are emphatic pauses in the bass throughout the song for lyrical effect.
