hey, if you have a loop box you can tune your big e string down to an A just for this
bass part which will make the first 2 big strings an A octave. listen for timing
REMEMBER tune your big E down to an A for this part if you have 2 guitarists or a loop
box, this is absolutely 100 percent how the rhythm goes all these other Bob renditions
are terrible. make sure you rate it! tomazzalina@aol.com email me help make this better,
i know it's the best one out.

This was all the main stuff of the song. the leads and he variates it a little but if
you're gonna learn this song you are probably decent and will be able to figure out your
own variations but this is certainly the most accurate, to wrap it up here's the chorus
and the octave solo thingy :)
