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....
