AUTHORS NOTES:
While this is a really simple song to play on bass, it is essential to the song.
I would say that bass is the main input into this song, even though it's often
one note for up to 30 seconds.

VERSE: (0:34-1:00)
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------| At the start of each lyric secion,
A|-/5---5-5-5---5--5-5-| slide up to the D. Otherwise, keep
E|---------------------| repeating without the slide.

CHORUS BUILD: (1:00-1:13), (1:38-2:03)
G|---------------------|---------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------|
A|-/5---5-5-5---5--5-5-|-/7---7-7-7---7--7-7-|
E|---------------------|---------------------|

G|---------------------|---------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------|
A|-1---1-1-1---1--1-1-|-/4---4-4-4---4--4-4-|
E|---------------------|---------------------|

G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-/5---5-5-5---5--5-5-|
E|---------------------|

BASS BREAK: (2:03)
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------| Which runs into...
A|-/5--5-5-5--5--5--5--5-5-5-|
E|---------------------------|

G|-----------------------------| Sometimes in this sequence, Gordon
D|-0/12---12-12-12---12--12-12-| might let off the 12 to return to open.
A|-----------------------------| Also toward the end of this bit, harmonic
E|-----------------------------| the 12.

(2:31)
G|------------------------|---------------------| Most interesting bass bit of song.
D|------------------------|---------------------| Many other places you could
A|-12-12-12-10-7h10-5-3-0-|-/5---5-5-5---5--5-5-| play it. Use slides to help, return
E|------------------------|---------------------| to normal verse rhythm.

After the verse Russel has a solo. Gordon basically plays the same as the chorus
part I have written above, except he moves down to the G on the bass string:

(2:58-end)
G|---------------------|---------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------|
A|-/5---5-5-5---5--5-5-|-/7---7-7-7---7--7-7-|
E|---------------------|---------------------|

G|---------------------|---------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------| End on a D. 
A|-1---1-1-1---1--1-1-|---------------------|
E|---------------------|-3---3-3-3---3--3-3--|
