[Bridge - Quiet bit] (Drums x 4 triplet figure - no chords One hand - bounce off strings - and bass drum on 2 and 4 Then play chords as barres so can mute effectively x7999x 577655 799877 - pattern 123 123 123 1xx) - can also use Higher Ground rhythm if works better

[Less chords bit] (Play E loud once and sustain then just drums until A and B) [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] (Triple drums back in - Higher Ground)
[Chorus] [E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy
[E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy (Finish on triplet fills and then "Down" - Slide D# to E)
