^ the line has more of a swing beat with the ghost notes in between, but you don't 
have to play them if you don't want to.

Basically the line is just E, D, C, G with a swing-feel.

The track fades out by this point, 
so just keeping swapping between these two. 
This walking bass line is basically what he's playing, 
but with a few notes and differences here and there, put your own vibe on it :D


and a possible end is the muted part, with the drums:

G|------------
D|------------
A|------------
E|---x-x-x-x-x

ENJOY! :) great bass line by a great bassist: Phil Lynott, 1949 - 1986. R.I.P.
