Tabbed by: Hallvis The bass doesn't play before the second verse, first it's only acoustic guitar. Here is first verse text: Give a little bit, give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit, I'll give a little bit of my love to you There so much that we need to share, send a smile and show you care Here the bass appears:

g|------|-------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|
d|------|-------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|
a|-----5|-5--5--5-----|5-5--5--5-----|--------------|----------------5|
e|-3-3--|----------5-5|-----------3-3|-5-5--5--5-3-3|-5-5--5--5--3-3--|
This is being played twice through the first two lines in the second verse:

I'll give a little bit, I'll give a little bit of my life for you So give a little bit, give a little bit of your time to me Here you play this:

g|-------|--------|--------|--------|---------|---------------|
d|-------|--------|2-2-----|--------|---------|---------------|
a|-----2-|2-2-2-2-|--------|2-2-2-2-|-----5-5-|----5-5-5-5----|
e|-3-3---|--------|----3-3-|--------|-5-5-----|5-5------------|

See the man with the lonely eyes, oh thake his hand, you'll be suprised

Then it is time for the saxophone solo. Play this together with it.
