(This whole song should be played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or per
"The Isle of View" on an acoustic 12-string! -- LM)

Try this instead -- let the bass notes ring. Note that the timing is
triplets:

t t t t t t t t t t t t
e|--------2-3-0-------2-3-|
4 b|3-------------3---------|
- G|--0-------------0-------|
4 D|----0-------------------|
A|------------3-----0-----|
E|3-----3-----------------|
