This is a farily cool bass line to a great Smiths song.  It's the
version from Hatful of Hollow (starts ion C# Major).  I'm not surwe
if it's completyely right, but this is how our band played it at our
last gig (With the Legendary Lenny Liggins of the Ukrainians on
vocals).
 
 
 
 
Guitar intro
 
(1)
 
|----------------|---------------|-----9--9---8---|-----------------|
|-----11-11--9---|----11--11--9--|----------------|------9--9---8---|
|----------------|---------------|--7-------------|---9-------------|
|--9-------------|--9------------|----------------|-----------------|
 
The Devil will find work.... (can't remember the very first line!)
 
Play however many times then:
 
(2)
 
|----------------|-----6-----6---|----------------|--4-----4-------|
|------6------6--|--4-----4------|----------------|-----2-----2----|
|--4-------4-----|---------------|-----6------6---|----------------|
|----------------|---------------|--4------4------|----------------|
 
So what difference does it make......
 
Play 2x then:
 
(3)
 
|---------------|-----6--------|---------------|-----6---------|
|-----8---------|--------------|------8--------|---------------|
|--------8---6--|--4-----------|---------8--6--|--4------------|
|--6------------|--------4--5--|---6-----------|---------4--5--|
 
 
|---------------|--6--5--------|
|-----8---------|--------------|
|--------8---6--|--------------|
|--6------------|--------7--8--|
 
 
It makes none.......
 
 
 
Play 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1
 
 
There, I think that's right, but I haven't got my guitar in front of
me.  In the "what difference bit" you could play octaves rather than
fifth's but I thnk it sounds better like that.
 
Anyway, enjoy......
 
Oh yeah, if anyones got any more cool bass lines (Smiths, James,
Stone Roses etc) mail me....
