There's two versions of this song which have official releases. The studio version is on
the 1996 album 'Jawbox'. However there is also a demo version on My Scrapbook of Fatal
Accidents. Both versions are pretty identical though in terms of bass lines. There are 
also only two bass parts to this song.

Intro - Guitar and Drums open "Said you were..."

Verse - "...ten feet tall and bullet proof"

G|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|
A|----------5--2--|-------2--------|
E|-1--3--3--------|-1--3-----3--3--|

Chorus 1 - "take the big man down"

G|---------------|---------------|
D|---------------|---------------|
A|-2--2----------|-4--4----------|
E|-------0-0--0--|-------0-0--0--|

The first chorus is kind of strange as it then goes to an instrumental section midway
through the Chorus:

G|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|
A|----------5--2--|-------2--------|
E|-1--3--3--------|-1--3-----3--3--|

then it returns to the verse part again when the vocals return

G|---------------|---------------|
D|---------------|---------------|
A|-2--2----------|-4--4----------|
E|-------0-0--0--|-------0-0--0--|

Verse 2

G|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|
A|----------5--2--|-------2--------|
E|-1--3--3--------|-1--3-----3--3--|

Chorus 2 - is just the "main chorus bit"

G|---------------|---------------|
D|---------------|---------------|
A|-2--2----------|-4--4----------|
E|-------0-0--0--|-------0-0--0--|

Bridge - is just the verse part again

G|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|
A|----------5--2--|-------2--------|
E|-1--3--3--------|-1--3-----3--3--|

Chorus 3/Outro

G|---------------|---------------|
D|---------------|---------------|
A|-2--2----------|-4--4----------|
E|-------0-0--0--|-------0-0--0--|

That's the end!
