What's Left Of The Flag bass

What's Left Of The Flag

Flogging Molly
Drunken Lullabies
What's Left of the Flag

       The intro doesn't really have any bass in it but when the guy says floor you 
to play this:

 Intro                                                   floor...
G-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
D-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
A-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 7~---------------|
E-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
    Let that E ring for one measure and then pause for four measures while the guy sings
the rest of the band plays then come in with this:

G-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
D-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
A-|3~--------------- ----------------- 7~--------------- 5~---------------|
E-|----------------- 3~--------------- ----------------- -----------------|
      (this is also the chorus)...(sort of)

 Bridge
G-|---------------- ---------------- -----------------|
D-|---------------- ---------------- -----------------|
A-|7~-------------- 7~-------------- --7---7---7---7--|
E-|---------------- ---------------- 5---5---5---5----|
   Personally I think it sounds cool when you throw in some vibratos on those E's, but 
doesnt matter.

   play this 2 times then go into the chorus (which is right up above the bridge). The
this time around will be different but you still play the same thing. Then they jump up a
step and play the main riff and the chorus riff in A, Like so:

G-|---------------- --------------- ---------------- -----------------|
D-|----------7----- --------------- ----------7----- -----------------|
A-|--7--7--5----7-- --7--7---4--4-- --7--7--5----7-- -----7~----7--7--|
E-|5--5-------5---- 5--5---2--2---- 5--5-------5---- 5~-------5--5----|


G-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----9-----------|
D-|----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------|
A-|---5---5---5---5- ----------------- ---9---9---9---9- ---7---77-777----|
E-|----------------- ---5---5---5---5- ----------------- -----------------|

G-|---------------- -----------------|
D-|----------7----- -----------------|
A-|--7--7--5----7-- -----7~----7--7--|
E-|5--5-------5---- 5~-------5--5----|

 Then they drop back down to G and play the verse one time around (also written out up
the bridge)and then head into the chorus. play through the chorus twice and then the
is this:

G-|---------------- ---------------|
D-|----------5----- ---------------|
A-|--5--5--3----5-- -----5~----5---|
E-|3--3-------3---- 3~-------3---3-| End

Hope this helps. I think it is pretty accurate. good luck.
