Don't bother writing to me telling me this is wrong. Its not the same bass

line as the real song, there is far too much improvising to tab it out, this

is a simplified version but it still sounds good. Remember that little stop

(i marked with a *) during the verses. It really sounds good when all the

instruments stop there.

Intro:

This part sometimes has another A E E (-5-0-0-) section in it later in the

song.

E-5-0-0-5-0-0-0-5-0-0-5-0-0-0-5-0-0-5-0-0-0-5-0-0-5-5-5-5-

Verse:

This is not the precise number of strokes. Listen to the song for that.
