Hi Hugorj,
The root notes are not a problem (see below). It is everything that happens between each root note being played that is difficult. Also I am trying to tab from UTube sound, so not as good as having the CD to listen to. Also, John is playing in a slap style, which I cannot do worth shit.
From one of my earlier postings in this thread:
There are four counts (1&2&

&4&

to each measure (4/4 time signature).
There are two parts to the verse.
For part 1 (starts about 0

3) the root notes each get 2 measures (8 counts). I think the root notes are:
F#(E2) B(A2) D(A5) B(A2)
F#(D4) B(A2) D(A5) B(A2)
There is more played than just the root note during each two measure segment, but I don't know what.
For part 2 (starts at about 1:11) the root notes are:
A(A0) C#(A4) F#(E2) B(A2)
A(A0) C#(A4) F#(D4)
Each root note gets 1 measure (4 counts) except the last F# which carries for two measures (8 counts). As in part 1, there is more played than just the root notes. The very last measure turns around back to the intro/chorus.
