G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5-5-5-0-5-7-5---|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A|----------------|5-5-5-0-5-7-5-0-|3-3-3---3-5-3---|5-5-5-0-5-7-5---|
E|----------------|----------------|------3---------|----------------|
In the second (middle) section, they assume the simpler:
G|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------|
D|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|
A|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
Throughout the first section (coming in four bars before the bass), there
appears to be an arpeggio on a piano or similar keyed instrument, it goes
like this (be aware it's almost certainly several octaves higher than a
bass, I've just put it in tablature form for ease of reading):
G|--4-7-4---4-7-4-|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5-------5-------|--4-7-4---4-7-4-|--2-5-2---2-5-2-|--4-7-4---4-7-4-|
A|----------------|5-------5-------|3-------3-------|5-------5-------|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
===BASS===
The actual bassline to the song is rather simple, apart from the odd twiddly
bit in the middle section.
When the bass comes in (at around 14 seconds), it does a pleasing:
G|----------------|
D|------------17\5|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
And begins with:
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5-5-5-5-5-5-4-2-|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A|----------------|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-|3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
This repeats but once, at which point we encounter the middle section.
The first four bars of the middle section do this:
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5---------------|----------------|5---------------|----------------|
A|----------------|5---------------|----------------|5---------------|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
Let each of these notes ring for the whole bar.
The next four become a little more ambitious:
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5-5-5-5-7-5-4-2-|--------2-4-2---|5-5-5-5-7-5-4-2-|--------2-4-2---|
A|----------------|5-5-5-5-------5-|----------------|5-5-5-5-------5-|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
After this, we begin our final section with bass in, it goes like this:
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A|----------------|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-|3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-|5-5-5-5-5-0-5-7-|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
This repeats twice, and the bass part finishes with a nice staccato:
G|----------------|
D|5---------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
That's all there is to the bass part, I hope you enjoy playing this song as much as I do!
Note to guitarists: I believe the guitar part isn't much different, power
chords maybe. If someone wishes to tab this for guitar, using mine as
reference, feel free. All I ask is that you credit me if you did use mine.
