There is a lot of\r\nbass between these notes and it makes up the turn around between the E7\r\nand back to the Am.  Think of it as a little 1-4 blues tune with the G\r\nto run down to E7 break with the E7 turn around.  The bass in these tracks\r\nis fretless and slides a lot to get a kind of crying bass sound.\r\n\r\nPut the chords over the lyrics like so:\r\n\r\n1st Verse\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]D9[/ch]\r\nWell you hate those diesels rollin'[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]D9[/ch]\r\nAnd those Friday nights out bowlin'[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                   [ch]Gb7[/ch]    [ch]F7[/ch]    [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nWhen he's off for a twelve hour lay over night.[/tab]\r\n\r\nThe bass starts to carry the notes down into the Gb7 and the\r\nguitar follows hitting the notes on the lyrics.\r\n\r\nThe tempo is slow blues pacing.  Enjoy!","plain_text":"This is a straight forward little ditty.
