Awesome B-Side from The Captain, with some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.
Not 100% about the bass parts, if you think you've got it right post it in the comments
and I'll stick it in.
Also, quantities of notes are more for the duration than the actual rhythm, you'll have
to figurethat out yourself.
