"Charlotte Sometimes"--bassline--by the Cure from
"Staring at the Sea--The Singles"




This bassline is interesting cuz it's constantly moving
 the pattern changes somewhat unexpectedly, but once you learn it,
it comes along alot easier. The pattern may be hard to follow, so just
learn the figures first, then listen to the song a few times,  then
try  fit in the patterns. I hope I have all the strokes right, there
might be a couple more strokes missing, but all the notes should be right.
