The bass is pretty simple, mainly consisting of root, fifths and eighth notes for improvisation.

There is no bass until the bridge:


Am7 Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am G D C D
G---------------------------------------------------------------7------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------5--7----------------
A--------------------5-----5------------------------------5-----------------5-----7--5---Repeat once
E-----5-------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------


The second bridge is the same as this.

Third Bridge:

Am7 Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am G D C D
G------------------------------11-12-14------------------------7-------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------5--7-----------------
A----------------5-----5----------------------------------5----------------5-----7--5----

G------------------------------------------------------------7---------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------5--7------------------
A--------------------5-----5--------------------------5--------------------5-----7--5----
E-----5---------------------------------5------------------------------------------------

The Bass now joins in one verses:

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now. It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen

G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---3--------------2-----------------0----------------------0---2--3--------------2------------------------0-
