# The starting riff is based on a G Barre chord
# with the bass dropping to an E note on the E string
# ie.
G G E
D--5-5--x-x-x-x-5-5-5-5
A--5-5--x-x-x-x-5-5-5-5
E--3-3--x-x-x-x-3-3-0-0
#Play 3 Times before the singing starts
#This riff carries on into the verse, so when the chords above
#say Em, just play the bass E and keep the G barre in place

Swim out pass the breakers
