The bass part of this song sounds alot like

D 4 0

A 4 0

D 4 0

some people had this confused for the guitar part... if you listen carefully

there are definatly some bass riffs later on that start with those sounds.

Also, just watch the music video. i duno what you think but this is a solid

band. creative and original. goodstuff. Have fun.

This is a work in progress... i think the 'try honesty' part might have the

guitar playing notes( 7 6 4 6 4 2 on the middle d string) instead of chords with

the bass. and im not fully sure about the end of the intro.

email me if you make any changes. Lecanucker@hotmail.com
