This is the way me and my friend play when we do the song and I think this is the way it goes. You don?t have to tune the bass differently to play this song, just tune it the way you would normally have it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------3--------------------------------------------3-5-5-5-3---- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-5----5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5---------5-3 x3 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3 x3 -------------- -------------- -3-5-5-5-3---- 5----------5-3 x1 (The next part you play in sync with the ?Big Black Boots??etc. You play the 5-5-5 with the ?big black boots? or other part of the song, then the 0-3-0-3 between the two parts. ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- 5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5 x1 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3 x8 ----------- ----------- ----------- 5-5-5---5h7 x1 After this your at the end of the first part, It does the ?I said are you gonna be my girl?? and starts back into the song. The time at this point in the song is about 1:26 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------3 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-5- x1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------3--------------------------------------------3-5-5-5-3----- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-5----5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-----------5-3 x1 -------------------------------------------------------------3-5-5-5-3--- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5---------5-3 After that the ?big black boots? comes back and you repeat the same way of playing. ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- 5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5-0-3-0-3---5-5-5 x1 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3 x8 ----------- ----------- ----------- 5-5-5---5h7 x1 This is the end of the second part of the song. He does the ?I said are you gonna be my girl?? and it goes back into the main part. The time at this point is about 2:31 ------------------ ------------------ -----------------3 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-5-3- x1 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 5-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3 x22 ----------- ----------- ----------- 5-5-5---5h7 x1 I noticed that most of the tabs for this song are wrong. They don?t seem wrong but they are because you cannot play the bass the way most tabbers put it under as. This is the more accurate way to play the song and it is also a very easy song to play because there is no need to tune it differently then it normally is.
