Water's Edge Bass

(ver. 3)
Seven Mary Three
This is my version below and how I play it.
The bass on the recording is somewhat hard to hear clearly so I interpreted it as best I 
could and tried to keep it locked in with the drums.

An (x) is meant either as a "ghost note" or as the down beat and therefore you should 
play right behind it on the "back beat."
It is meant solely to help with timing.  It doesn't have to be played.

I also threw in a little ad lib part for the chorus since I find the original version to 
be a little dull.
It is meant simply to be an option and can be expanded upon if desired or left out completely.
Verses and chorus are all the same throughout the song with the exception that Verse 
Three is only repeated 3 times instead of 6.

I used modal scales for the crescendo in the bridge.  They were all that seemed to fit 
correctly once you get the timing worked out.

I used the "Official" video "0:00" for time index.  That video has a small "movie" at 
the beginning.
The music starts at 0:58 and the bass comes in at 1:06.
