And maybe you should be moving too

version 3
A great deal of this song follows a specific groove, that you can see here in tab:
G /B /Bb Am7 Am7 Am7/B
e|----------------|----------------|
B|--0---0---0---0-|--1---1---1---1-|
G|--0---0---0---0-|--0---0---0---0-|
D|--0---0---0---0-|--2---2---2---2-|
A|--------2---1---|0-------0---2---|
E|3---------------|----------------|
The bass-line in the E- and A-string is played mainly by the piano and synth, and the bass plays around with
the chord-progression. I feel that the fingers used to play the bass-part should be
3...2-1-(open)...(open)-4- [repeat]. I say 4 because 3 and 1 will be busy with the Am7 chord.
This is what the piano plays on top during the chorus:
G Am7 C
e|----3-----------------|----7-----------------|

I hope you enjoy my arrangement! I really enjoy this song.
