You could have learnt it in the time it took to write that message.

 

No you would still mess up the change as you had got into a sort of daze of playing the same thing over and over.

Is that a song you have to 'learn'?  It comes from the "Hi Ho Silver Lining' school of bass playing.

There is a single surprise minor chord in there, toward the end.  Fall asleep during verse 3, and you'll miss it.

 

And the right rhythm is important  - get it wrong and you'll sound like the Sunday Strummers Ukulele Club.

 

Ask me how I know...

Oh, god, have I got to stay awake that long!

Among others, Mustang Sally, Committments version. Wicked inverted walking bass lines

I depped with a band and they said 'we leave out the change!'

 

Put it in at a jam and the guitarist remembered to as well!
