This probably isn't even 75% correct, but at least it will give you an idea. I didn't list the effects, since he uses so many, but you can figure those for yourself. -----------------------------------BASS--------------------------------- Chorus bass G :----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D :----------------|----------------|----------------|-----9----------| A :----------------|/7--7-----------|-3--3-----------|-2-0------------| x 2 E :-0--0-----------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Verse bass G :----------------|----------------| D :------5---------|----------------| A :7-5-7----7-5----|----------------| x lots E :----------------|-5-5-----7-7----| [last time before chorus, sometimes other variations] G :----------------|----------------| D :------5---------|-7-5-7-9-10-12--| A :7-5-7----7-5----|----------------| E :----------------|----------------| Brigdge bass G :----------------|----------------| D :/9--5--7--------|5--7------------| A :----------------|------7---------| x lots E :----------------|----------------| penewman@pnc.com.au
