This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

E--0-------------------------------|

G----------------------------------|
D----------------------------------|
A------------------5-5-5-5-5-------|
E---3------------------------------|

IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME PATTERN, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT IF YOU HAVE A 5-

string BASS. THE A YOU PLAY ON THE B-string WITH THE TWO NOTES YOU CAN SWITCH ON THE

5TH STRING LIKE THIS....

G---------11----14-14--------------|
D--11-11---------------------------|
A----------------------------------|
E---------10----14-14--------------|
B--10-10---------------------------|

THEN YOU CONTINUE. JUST THE A YOU CHANGE. IT'S MUCH EASIER TO PLAY THIS SONG IF YOU HAVE

5-STRING BASS CUZ YOU DONT HAVE TO MOVE SO MUCH.

GOD BLESS, email me if any problems at elmusikopekoso23@hotmail.com
