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).

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....
