The Main Pattern (the bass's answer to the guitar part):
G-|------------------
D-|-5h7-5-4----------
A-|---------5--------
E-|-----------5-5-3--
One of the Many Fun Fills!:
G-|-----7-7---------
D-|-5h7-------------
A-|-------------5-5-
E-|---------3h5-----
And another...
G-|-11--12-12--11/14-
D-|-12--12-12--12/15-
A-|------------------
E-|------------------
And if you want to mess around with that ever so catchy violin/sax thing they used to do...
G-|-11h12h14-11-12----11-------
D-|----------------14----12-14-
A-|----------------------------
E-|----------------------------
(sounds really nice if you funk up the end of the riff)
And of course there's this thing...
E-|-8h10-/---(slow slide down)
OKAY!!! How about the actual song?
Verse (main figure): (very clean and bouncy)
G-|-----------------------------
D-|------4---4---------5-5-55-7-
A-|-5-/5---5---/5---/5----------
E-|---------------3-------------
lather, rinse, repeat ad lib
Okay, at the end of when Dave sings the chorus "Take these chances..." over the VERSE figure, this is what you do... (SEE FOOTNOTE 1)
("Quieter time...)
G-|--------------------------------------
D-|--------4h5-4h5h7-5h7h9-7h9h11-9h11---
A-|-2-5--5-----------------------------(5...back to verse)
E-|--------------------------------------
Then we go back to the verse... and finally come to a full chorus: (take these chances...) (hold most of these notes, let them sing) (SEE FOOTNOTE 2)
G-|----------------------------------------------------------------
D-|----------------------------------------------------------------
A-|-2-5----2---16p14-14p11-11p9-9p7-9p7-7p4-4/2-2---2-5--------2---(verse)
E-|------3---5------------------------------------5-----3-(55)---5-
Then we have more of the Verse pattern, then the run-up:
G-|---------------------------------
D-|-0h4h5-4h5h7-5h7h9-7h9h11-9h11---
A-|------------------------------(5...back to verse)
E-|---------------------------------
More verse stuff... then:
G-|--- People --------------- No words-------
D-|--- in every ----5-5-55-7--- exchanged------
A-|-5- direction-/5----------5- no time...-----
E-|--------3------------------------3------3-5-
Then: "When all the little ants are marching..."
G-|-----------------------------------------------------------4---4-7-
D-|-----------4h5-4-----------4------------5-7-5-7-5--------7---7-----
A-|-------5h7-------7-----------7-5-----------------------------------
E-|-3-2-0--------------3-2-0---------3-2-0------------3-2-0-----------
Then more verse stuff, until...
G-|----------------loose end loose end, cut cut!-
D-|------4---4--------------------------7-(7)-7---
A-|-5-/5---5---/5---------------------------------
E-|------------------5----3-----5----3------------
On the fence but
not to offend...
G-|-----------------cut cut, cut cut--
D-|------4---4----------------7-------
A-|-5-/5---5---/5-----------------5---
E-|-----------------3----3------------
then, the chorus, back to the verse figure for the sax solo, then the run-up to the violin solo:
(SEE FOOTNOTE 3)
G-|--------------------------------------------------
D-|------------------------------5-------------------
A-|-5----------5-----------5-----------5-------------
E-|------3-----------3-----------------------3(hold)-
Okay, then you play the part that went under "When all the little ants are marching,"
(there are some small differences) until you get to the Am part...
Am G D Bm D G Bm A D G
G-|-----------------------------(roll)------------------
D-|----------------------------------4-4-5-----5-5-55-7-
A-|-0-----5--2--5---------2-----5----5-5-5--/5----------
E-|----3-----------3-(55)---5---------------------------
and the very end...
G-|----------
D-|-5-5--7---
A-|--------5-
E-|----------
