Subject: DO YOUR BEST AND DON’T WORRY by Morrissey
Do Your Best And Don~t Worry
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)
This is the sixth song off of -Southpaw-. I would have love to sit down and
figure out the bass because it is really cool. But I have only figured out
the guitar chords. Please note that the chords are played at different
positions all over the fretboard; and some of the chords (like E and at the
end of the song where the chord G is played) are played with sustained notes
which gives this song it~s rich flavour. Also, I got the lyrics off of
-Cemetary Gates- (http://www.public.iastate.edu/~krajewsk/), a Smiths
homepage on the internet.
The intro bass line (which I have transcribed for guitar) is:
E ———————————|———————————||
B ———————————|———————————||
G ———————————|———————————||
D —–8—–8———3—–3—–|—–8—–8———3—–3—–||
A —8—–8—–8—3—–3—–3-|—8—–8—–8—3—–3—–3-||
E -6—–6—–6—1—–1—–1—|-6—–6—–6—1—–1—–1—||

This is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress
