It's best to play this song with bass accompaniment, but
you can do the bass part on guitar like so:
(repeat through verses)
E --------------------
B --------------------
G -------3-2-0--------
D ---5---------3------
A -3---3--------------
E --------------------
occasionally, the guitar kicks in (listen for timing):
E -5--6--8--
B -5--6--8--
G -6--7--9--
D ----------
A ----------
E ----------
Chorus:
alternate between
E -----------------
B -10--3--5--------
G -10--3--5--------
D -10--3--5--------
A --8--1--3--------
E -----------------
(obviously, you can do the Bb and C at the 6th and
8th frets if you prefer, but this way you can add a
bit of slide)
and
E --------------------
B -10--12-------------
G -10--12-------------
D -10--12--10---------
A --8--10--10---------
E ----------8---------
then, over "girl, there's a better life...", strum and hold:
E -1--
B -3--
G -2--
D -0--
A ----
E ----
and then repeat 2x before returning to the verse
(single strums):
E --------------------
B -10--8--3--5--------
G -10--8--3--5--------
D -10--8--3--5--------
A --8--6--1--3--------
