Tab Notes

I feel like this one has even more potential for a bass part that introduces something totally new. It's both very simple and kind of jammy in a way. 

The whole song is just two alternating chords played in different ways: G and D (10 and 5 on the A string and 3 and 10 on the E string). In my opinion that makes the dynamics and ryhthm the most interesting part of the song: quiet verse, loud chorus, the stop-start thing that happens with the guitar and drums in the chorus, etc.

Intro x4

Verse x2.5

Chorus

Verse x2.5

Chorus

Verse x2.5

Chorus

 

 

Stave 1: Intro (Some of these notes could be the basis of a more interesting bassline for the verse and chorus)

Stave 2: Verse 

Stave 2 two times & Stave 3 two times: Chorus

Stave 4, 5, 6: Some free-floating ideas that you could incorporate into any part of the song
