Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, [email protected] Standard tuning Comments: This is true beginner bass. Just follow the riffs for the intro, Chorus and solo and then get out of the way for the verses. I kind of like how the bass is so sparse during the verse. Everything gets kind of laid back there; the drums play a very sparse thing too.

Fig 1 w/ End 1} (2x) {Rhy. Fig 3a} (3x) Early morning, as she wakes from her sleep 9 to 5 is the day that she'll keep Ties her hair up and her blouse buttoned tight Gets her work done as she waits for the night... All the people, tell me what would they say If they knew her, how she hides it away {Rhy. Fig 3b} Locked inside, there's the start of a flame And the feelings that she never will tame {Rhy. Fig 4} Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees livin' inside {Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1} (2x) Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her {Rhy. Fig 3a} In the evening when she takes to the street She goes hunting with a body in heat {Rhy. Fig 3b} And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle And she knows why she lies {Rhy. Fig 4} Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees living inside {Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1} Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over {Rhy.

Fig 2 w/ End 1} Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over {Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2} Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her {Rhy.
