Tuning: Standard

This is 100% correct as far as the key and root notes. However, as a bass player you can 
obviously embellish and add your own style.

You're playing the root notes throughout entire song. Here's a tabbed view.

I like to include the minor 7th at the beginning of the measure. I also double up on 
some notes, but the point is that as long as you're hitting the root notes - you can make 
this song your own.

C (x32010@1)      G# (xx1114@1)           A# (x1333x@1)         D#The (x43121@3)young man stands on the edge of his porch
    F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)       GThe (320003@1)days were short and the father was gone
          C (x32010@1)          G# (xx1114@1)      A# (x1333x@1)           D#There (x43121@3)was no one in the town and no one in the field
     F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)         GThis (320003@1)dusty barren land had given all it could yield

Bass comes in at the end of Vs 1 (0:33)

C (x32010@1)          G# (xx1114@1)         A# (x1333x@1)       D#I've (x43121@3)been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
    F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)             F (133211@1)             GAnd (320003@1)I have no idea where else my heart could have been
  C (x32010@1)          G# (xx1114@1)          A# (x1333x@1)          D#I (x43121@3)placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
     F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)             F (133211@1)     GAnd (320003@1)now I am sure my heart can never be still
   C (x32010@1)         G# (xx1114@1)            A# (x1333x@1)       D#So (x43121@3)collect your courage and collect your horse
     F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)      GAnd (320003@1)pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

(Bass is quiet during the first chorus)
