The Bass line follows this pattern and you just pick the chords overtop
Am
The bass changes to follow the C chord. Anything in brackets is optional but it is in
the song.
C
(pick just means pick the top strings in the C chord)
The strumming pattern is pretty simple. Listen to the song to get it down.
Oh, CI see a girl thats blue like the sea
when i go to sleep you know that she sees me, Amtoo
yeah, Cjust standing around like the popular kids
hoping saint peter will let us in, Amtoo
"well," he says " if you Fvalue your life stay off the drugs
if you Cvalue the drugs stay off the map.

he said, "Fif you value your heart, oh stay on the road.
if you Cvalue the road, oh stay on the top .

(Back to picking)

if you Cvalue the crime, stay out of doors.
if you Gvalue them doors you better lock em son.
and if Fyou dont want to lock em, you better Gbuy a gun"
This part speeds up. Its the same Chords but just at a different tempo. Theres a few
riffs here. Theres no real
pattern I can distinguish. He just plays around with the high B and E strings on the
third fret with his pinkie.
He also throws in some bends on the B string.
The new bass riff comes to this.
Am
yeah, well Ci saw a snake in an apple tree
you know i didnt trust a word that he hissed to me, Amno!
yeah, he said, "it Cmust be gettin awful lonely tryin to save the world;
just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girAmls."
he said, "Fif you value your limbs, stay in the game.
if you Cvalue the game, stay in the style.
if you Gvalue that style, youre a sinkin son.
if you Fdont want to sink then you better run."
