REGULAR VERSE Fall into submission... No use wishing now... END WITH ALTERNATING CHORUS AND REFRAINS ======================================== NOTES: -Turn your metronomes to 140 bpm for this one. -The x's stand for 8th rests. -The bassist on the recording makes some variations from what I wrote down especially the second or third time through. -But this should give you a good idea of what it's supposed to sound like. -His chorus riff is pretty weird with the rhythm even though it's almost all eighth notes. It makes sense after a while. questions or comments? email to Dawson at
