--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21st CENTURY LIFE - SAM SPARRO --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basstab by Gustavo02 emaildogustavo02@hotmail.com Some fills aren't 100% like the original, I write simplificated fills here and there. The roots notes are 100% right, i believe. I hope anyone find it useful. This song is very cool to play once you learn and practice it. s = slap note if you can't play main riff at all, here is another sugestion: G|----------------3---4---5-------|

|3-----3----3--------------------| VERSES B: (at 02:58 more or less) the exactly rhythm is a little hard ro write, try to play attention on the bass to get it. But basically is the same thing as the chorus.
