This line is played repeatedly throughout the song, with a few variations in the timing and rhythm. Listen carefully to the song to get a feel for when to change notes and when to hold them for longer.
Bridge Section
The bridge section of “Cowgirl In The Sand” features a different bass line that adds a bit of variation to the song:
G|--------| D|--------| A|--5-5-5-| E|--------|
This line is played four times before returning to the verse and chorus sections.
