Vocal fade-out:
---------------

Isn't it about time (isn't it about time) etc

Sung over the G - F - C - G chord sequence.

bass line is confusing me? Not difficult...

PS The underlying riff throughout most of the song is very
reminiscent of the "Start" (The Jam) and "Taxman" (The Beatles)
bass lines...
