I'm not a bass player, but it seems 
to sound best if you play most of 
the bass
part with one finger, sliding up and
 down the neck. Of course, you can 
play
the bass parts on a regular guitar- 
fretting and tuning is the same- its
 just
one octave lower on a bass.


I kept having trouble finding the 
right key for the vocal. Start on a 
'd'.
Here's the melody for the first 
line:

d    c   b  b       d  c  b  b      
 d  c    b    b   a b   g
Take off my shield  carry my sword  
 I won't need it  any  more

Any comments/improvements, etc. 
welcome.

Now go find yourself a bass player!
