Tune down 1/2 step to: Eb Ab Db Gb


This is the main bass riff:
    Am         C          Em         Em  
|------------------------------------------------|
|:-----------------2-----------------------------|
|:--0-0-3-0----3-3---3---------------------------|
|-------------------------0-0-3-0----0-0-3-0-----|


During the chorus, eighth notes are played:
   G                Am               G                F
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|:----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|:----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---|

(*during the piano part, eighth notes are played in the end as 
  follows: G F Am G F)


Also, during the solo, variations on the main riff are played, such as:
    Am         C          Em         Em  
|------------------------------------------------|
|:-----------------2----------5----------5-------|
|:--0-0-3-0----3-3---3----7-7---7----7-7---7-----|

There are other slight variations I haven't figured out yet.

I had a look at the version of new year's day that you have posted.  I 
tried playing while the song was playing, and it doesn't seem right.  
I'll post some corrections to you with this message.  Tell me what you 
think.
