The intro and the first two verses can be played as the following as tabbed-which may require a certain degree of co-ordination, or the use of a sequencer to record the bass line. Throughout the verses it could be played with the Em and Dm chords over a G bass..or simply with just a G7 or G9 throughout ( as would be the case in most commercially released sheet music.) And with any format such as this, it is recommended one initially play along with the recording a few times in order to get the timing down.
