This is not an exact copy which I think would need at least a fretless but it
works when played along with the record. Simple to play and you will develop your 
own variation. Any chance one or two of you could give this a rating?

Bridge (When I see you coming down the street…)

That’s it; you are basically just playing the root notes except for the A at the end of 
basic riff. Listen to the record for the rhythm. I find myself slipping in extra notes 
dropping some out for variation. The song is very forgiving.
