Album: The Crane Wife

I'm 100% sure about this song.  You should listen to the song to get the rhythm down
but all the notes are here.  It's a little tricky to work out in the beginning, but it's a
fun bass part and sounds amazing.  Enjoy!

Verse:
G--------------------------|
D----2-----0-------0-2-----|
A------2-3-----2-3-----0-2-|
E--0---------0-------------|

Verse Note: The first A2 (B) in this line is flourished often, so give it 3 good, quick
in succession now and then.


Chorus:
G------0-2-0-------------------0-2-0---------------|
D------------0-2-0---0---------------0-2-0---0-----|
A--3-3-------------3---0-2-3-3-------------3---0-2-|
E--------------------------------------------------|

G--------------------------|
D----2-----0-------0-2-----|
A------2-3-----2-3-----0-2-|
E--0---------0-------------|

G--------------|
D----2-----0---|
A------2-3-----|
E--0---------0-|
(Stop quickly on this last note for a second, and then resume with the verse)

Chorus Note: Play the first line of the chorus as many times as needed, then proceed to
second line.  Sometimes you'll need to go back to the first line of the chorus again,
once each chorus is almost completely over, you'll continue to the third line before 
back to the verse.

Bridge:
G------0-------(2~)4-----|
D----2---------------4-0-|
A--3-----(3)-2-----------|
E------------------------|

G------0---------------|
D----2---------1-4-----|
A--3-----(3)-2-----(2)-|
E----------------------|

Bridge Note: Both of these lines are repeated in no specific order and the rhythm
stay constant, especially with the first three notes, so you'll have to really listen to the
to figure out when to play what.  The notes in () are notes that aren't always played 
with the rest of the line, and they also lead into the next note.  Also, when Colin
"our silent goodbyes", the verse line starts again on the word "goodbyes".

Ending:
G------------------|
D----2-----0-------|
A------2-3---------|
E--0---------0-0-0-|

Like I said, I'm positive this thing is correct.  However, humans do make errors, and if
