The bass line can either be played in drop D to keep it closer to the original, or
played an octave higher if you don't want to tune down. I'm tabbing just the D string, your
call which D string you'll pick (a downtuned E string or the regular D string.) And yes,
the timing is strange like that.

You can also arpeggiate the Em based on the open chord. It's easier to play that way,
but, in my opinion, doesn't sound as good due to the open strings. This is how that would
look like:

I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel (We'll go all, all, all night long)
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills (We'll go all, all, all night long)
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear (We'll go all, all, all night long)
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear (We'll go all, all, all night long)
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same

They're talking about you boy
(They're talking about you boy)
But you're still the same
