The Bass line follows this pattern and you just pick the chords overtop e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----0-------------------0-------------------0--------3-----0------------0-| E|-------------0--------3----------0---------3---------------------0-----3---| The bass changes to follow the chord. Anything in brackets is optional but it is in the song. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------(pick)-----(pick)-----(pick)----(pick)---------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------(0)--3---------------(0)--3---------------------------------| E|--------3------------------3-----------------------------------------------| (pick just means pick the top strings in the chord) The strumming pattern is pretty simple. Listen to the song to get it down. Intro: Oh, I see a girl thats blue like the sea when i go to sleep you know that she sees me, too yeah, just standing around like the popular kids hoping saint peter will let us in, too "well," he says " if you value your life stay off the drugs if you value the drugs stay off the map. if you value maps you better travel, son. if you dont want to travel then you better run" ooh, yeah, mmm, oh yeah, well I knew a king in his purple throne oh, and he had some trouble so he's all alone now well I used to bring him little presents from time to time and hed sit me in his castle and hed pick my mind he said, "if you value your heart, oh stay on the road. if you value the road, oh stay on the top . if you value the top, oh youre gonna suffer son. and if you dont want to suffer, then you better run" (Full strums) well i see my boss in his practical suit ill toss him in the cellar wont give him no food (Back to picking) when anybody tries to tell him what to do he holds his breath until he turns blue he says, "if you value your job, stay out of crime. if you value the crime, stay out of doors. if you value them doors you better lock em son. and if you dont want to lock em, you better buy a gun" This part speeds up. Its the same Chords but just at a different tempo. Theres a few riffs here. Theres no real pattern I can distinguish. He just plays around with the high and E strings on the third fret with his pinkie. He also throws in some bends on the string. The new bass riff comes to this. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------0-----3-----------------0------33--------------------| E|-------0------3------------------0------3----------------------------------| yeah, well i saw a snake in an apple tree you know i didnt trust a word that he hissed to me, no! yeah, he said, "it must be gettin awful lonely tryin to save the world; just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls." he said, "if you value your limbs, stay in the game. if you value the game, stay in the style. if you value that style, youre a sinkin son. if you dont want to sink then you better run."
