Notes: The driving force in this song is the chromatic rising and falling bass: from F to F sharp and back to F, which gives it a pulsating, haunting quality. Experiment with occasionally playing the E as the bass note for the A minor chord, to emphasize the motion even more. It's also okay to experiment with a D7 over F sharp, if you like. A simple structure like this lends itself to variations and experiments. You can repeat the last chorus an extra time. Have fun!
