(Evidently, the band broke up in January of 2008, and their website is no longer owned
them. They still have a MySpace page, however, http://www.myspace.com/downtownsingapore).

then back to
CHORUS
then the V2 part again until the end when he says
"So take in what is yours and fly away" one final time, where the bass line goes like
this, very simple:
G|--------|--------|--------|--------||--------|
D|--------|--------|--------|--------||--------|

D|--------|--------|--------|--------||--------|
~ in my tablature means let it ring, hold the note out
P.S. ~ I'm sorry, but at different points in the tablature I'm using 8-beat and
16-beat measures interchangeably. If you listen to the song, you'll know which ones to
play. I use 16-beat more often, if that helps.
This is my first tab!
