also if u like Queen, a really cool and easy bass line is "anotherone bites the dust"

You never leave the E string and it is pretty much 3 notes played over and over.....though you can spice it up a bit when you get to a few places where there is no bass near the end....using the same 3 notes during a few uitar chords that are left to ring.....
Great tune and not exactly hard to learn....
