This is a great song, especially for the bass player, from Dave's early
album, 'Remember Two Things.' I've had multiple requests for this song, so
here it is in it's entirety, including the choppy little bass solo.

Here we go

*****
Intro
*****

Ok, the guitar jams 7 measures before the bass comes in. these are 
measures 7 and 8 of the intro:

     1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &       1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &

Verse

     1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &       1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &
G|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------%-----------------|-----------------%-----------------|
A|-----------------%-----------------|-----------------%-----------------|
E|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|


This same line is repeated thru the first section of the first verse. 
They then change to alternating between the 3rd fret on the D string
and the 5th fret on the E string, as follows (repeated):


     1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &       1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &
G|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|---------------3-------------------|
A|-----------------------3-------5---|-----------------------3-------5---|
E|---3-----------5-------------------|---3-------------------------------|


Right before the chorus section, they end the verse like this:
                                                  _3_
                                                 | | |
     1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &       1   &   2   &   3   &   4   &
