something - george harrison

I was just wondering if anybody has any solo bass transcriptions of this? Preferably 6 string but 4 or 5 will do. Or does anyone have a chord chart (as a last resort because I'm not too good just going from these) and I can try and figure it out myself?

Thanks

Here is my rough transcription of the chords, if it helps. The bass line is pretty unique and I haven't transcribed it, so I've only added what I think are the most important bass notes. Feel free to complete it.

Code:
Something (George Harrison)
---------

(Chords only)

Intro: F, Eb-G/D

Verse: C, Cmaj7(/G), C7, F,  C/E, D7, D7/F#, G7 (bass G-A-B)
       A-, E+5, A-7/G, D7

Break = intro

Verse

Break--> A...

Chorus: A, E/G#, F#-7, F#-7/E
        D, G, A (bass: A-G#-G-F#-F-E)
        A, E/G#, F#-7, F#-7/E
        D, G, C (bass: C-B-A-G-E-D)

Solo = verse

Break

Verse

Break--> A...
Break--> C
Great song and great bass line, btw...
