Why Don't You Answer Your Telephone?

This is a great song from David Ford's latest record. The song is played with barre chords throughout and
is pretty simple. There are 2 simple bass runs that he plays. I've tabbed these below as Fig A and Fig B.
Fig A preceeds the verse chords. So it plays after the intro and at the end of each chorus before
returning to the verse chords. Fig B is played leading into the chorus

Put a chill through the house
