This song is pretty straight forward and a very fun bass line to play!! The only really tricky parts are on the first line where there is the 3-5 (E) and then 3-5 (A)...on the 3 on the A you want to hold that note for an extra second..like three-five-threeeee-five-five-two three. That is about how it would sound! And then on the 3rd bar down where you see the 2-3-4 on the G...you want to play that all pretty fast. If you have any questions or need any help just e-mail me at kris_long_1999@yahoo.com. Have Fun! I almost forgot to add that this isn't the whole song. The second verse is different but I just play it the same as the first verse and I didn't tab the whole break in the middle. I hate leaving everyone short on these tabs but this song is over 7 minutes long and it would take all day to do this!
