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

Recommended Tunings: Standard

*Option: Fretless Bass (if you can get one, try it out,

sounds really cool with mine)

Notes: Grooooove baby groove. Yea, that's the key to this song. Crank your

bass up for this one if your band knows it. There's nothing THAT hard about

this song, tight playing is really the biggest factor. Stick close to what

the drummer is doing. Listen how tight David and Nick are on the song. If

possible, get a fretless bass and play the song. Those slides sound really

cool. You can kinda make the notes drag a bit if you have to and it gives

you an excuse NOT to play open strings. David doesn't use one but I do and

it sounds pretty darn cool.
