This song is a pretty easy song to play on bass just as long as you know where to play all 
the notes. You might want to listen to "Wild Horses" and play it to start out with just 
to get aquainted with everything. This is a slow song so don't try to got too fast. It might 
sound better on an acoustic.

Here are the lyrics if you need them in addition to the tab. I would suggest that if you 
need to know where to play the notes that you go through the song and listen while making 
marks next on the lyrics:

(Intro)

Verse 1:
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you 
Graceless lady you know who I am 
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Chorus:
Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

Verse 2:
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain 
Now you decided to show me the same 
No sweeping exits or offstage lines 
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Chorus:
Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

(Bridge)

Verse 3:
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie 
I have my freedom but I don't have much time 
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried 
Let's do some living after we die

Chorus:
Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

(Bridge)

Chorus:
Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
