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---||
Am F Am F Am Dm E Am
F Am F Am Dm
Compare the best of their days with the worst of your days
E Am
You won~t win

With your standards so high and your spirits so low

And again...you won~t win

With your standards so high and your spirits so low

At least remember
E
This is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress
