If you want a bassline for

Chorus (8 bars)
Bm G Bm G Bm G F#m G (x2)

The Chorus riff can be
played in a number of
ways depending upon what
position you want to play
in, and it varies with
each chorus:

If you want to play mostly
on the B string it goes:

B-0---3-5-7—-0---10-9-7

B-0—3-2-0--------
G----------------
D--------------7-
A----------7h9---

The second time around
It goes:

B-0---3-5-7—0---10-9-7

E----------------7-
B-0-3-2-0----5h7---

The third time around it
Just goes

G-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----
D---------------4-5-

The whole song goes:

Intro (8 bars)
Bm G Bm G Bm G F#m G (x2)

Verse (8 bars)
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G (x2)

Pre-Chorus (6 bars)
F#  (G B) (x3)

Just play middle B during
The outro (ie open B
String)

You can transpose any of
The lead lines into
Different positions
(ie play the note B
at fret 4 on the G
string or fret 9
on the D string), they’re
easy to play anywhere.

Luke Haines plays a tele
On this and most other
Auteurs tracks, if you
Don’t have one you can do
A fair imitation using
The eq settings on your
Amp/effects unit – try
Bass 1.7
Mid 2.0
Treble 2.7
(don’t expect your Les
Paul to work very well)

I’m working on other
Auteurs transcriptions at
The moment, but if anyone
Has already worked them
Out it would be great if
You could post them
