Auto-scroll

I think the song starts in G#m and then moves to Am. This version is for 5 string bass. The bass can also be played slap in certain parts which are marked. If you're a glutton for punishment you can also play semi-quavers at the top of the octave (mainly after the first chorus). [Intro 1] (no bass) [Intro 2] He's not the first man...:
