Sweepstakes by Gorillaz

Bass tabs

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro to Verse 2: (0:00 - 1:58)

End of Verse 2 and Chorus: (1:48 - 1:58, 1:58 - 2:28)

(IMO, start of cycle would be at 1:48 with the 2nd higher pitch keyboard notes in 4/4
 because it lines up with the upcoming verses which start with the 2nd higher pitch notes.
 The first part with lower pitch isn't played in the start before the 2nd chorus of the song.
 Sweepstakes has a weird time signature so bear with this explanation.)
