"Hung up on a Dream"

Backdated, archival post

While listening to the 30th anniversary edition of Odessey and Oracle, I thought the bass part for "Hung up on a Dream" sounded pretty simple, so I sat down, played it a few times, and learned most of it.

I haven't figured out the correct rhythms, so this is just an approximation of them.  There's a little riff that comes right before the final verses that I haven't figured out yet, and I may have played the middle part in the wrong octave.
