Try both and see what you think. BASSLINE: The bass is mainly just E and C as follows, except for before the second verse he goes to D for one cycle. This is the bassline for most of the song. I'll just show the basic notes. Listen for the strum pattern. |---------------------------------|----------|-----------| |----------5--------------5-------|---5------|---5-------| |--7-----5---5---7------5---5---3-|-5---5--5-|-5---5--7--| |---------------------------------|----------|-----------| ^ Before 2nd Verse only VERSE: The following riff goes with all the verses. Listen for the 16th note strumming and the rests at the start of the first verse. The G chord denoted below is an inversion of a G5 (power chord). It should be played with an upstroke i.e. the G note first while the D power chords should be played with down strokes. For the C5 I've shown the open E note on the sixth string in brackets. This is sometimes played whether by accident or design. It gives the 1st inversion of a C major triad.

This is done with the pad of the first finger and lifted up where necessary. Once again, listen for the strumming. Oh, Oh,... Oh
