This transcription was an extremely painful experience, I didn’t know there were so damn many
variations in this damn song! What on the surface just seems like a catchy bass riff and
repetetive lyrics is actually much much more. First off, Hugh varies his guitar part
extremely regularly throughout this song, and I’ve tried my hardest to transcribe most
of these variations. I think most of them are at least 88% right. Comments are welcome!
I’ve provided the basic root notes of the bassline
as 5th chords as there are no actual chords to the song.
