"How's It Going to Be" by Third Eye Blind

For a slow song, this has an interesting bassline, which is the reason I can't just put "repeat verse" or "chorus" cuz they keep changing. As usual, just listen real carefully for the exact rhythm, & what helps me is writing the rhythm above the tab if you don't have staff paper. I left out the G string to save room cuz it's hardly used.
