 I'm not a bass player, but it seems to sound best if you play most of the bass<br/>
 part with one finger, sliding up and down the neck. Of course, you can play<br/>
 the bass parts on a regular guitar- fretting and tuning is the same- its just<br/>
 one octave lower on a bass. <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 I kept having trouble finding the right key for the vocal. Start on a 'd'.<br/>
 Here's the melody for the first line: <br/>
 <br/>
 d    c   b  b       d  c  b  b       d  c    b    b   a b   g  <br/>
 Take off my shield  carry my sword   I won't need it  any  more<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Any comments/improvements, etc. welcome.<br/>
 <br/>
 Now go find yourself a bass player!<br/>
