    well.. I dont remember what key the song is, but if you say it's in F maj, then I'll take your word for it.

    This is how the main bassline goes.

    <pre>

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
    G:----------------|----------------|
    D:-------------7--|5---8---7-------|
    A:-5-----5-8-----8|------------8---|
    E:----------------|----------------|

    </pre>

    enjoy! most of the song repeats with this same bassline.

    By the way, the song is called 'Doin Time'.

    Nah I don't think its in the relative minor...reason I was thinking it was in F maj, cuz it has a Bb, but it might actually be a flatted chord progression like a cmaj7 or something.....might actually be in G, but because they never play a F# I don't know...

    OK, whatever key it's in, I'm pretty sure that's how the relative notes are, although I never really payed attention to that song too much.
