Awesome song by Delirious! There are two versions: the original on
the "DeEPer EP" and the updated version on the Roaring Lambs cd. The
bass riff is different for each version. I took what I liked from each
version and stuck it together.
Email me if you have any comments or suggestions!

Listen to the song for timing. You'll have to listen to the "DeEPer EP"
version for the funky chorus riff, or you can just use the Roaring Lambs
version which is easier but doesn't sound as nice.

                             (2nd ending before long bridge and at end of song):
                              I am born again/yes I'm torn again...
                                    G|------4-5-5-4-5-|

                                    E|----------------|


Chorus riff (Roaring Lambs ver, nice and easy):
...you...                   touched my life
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
I've been born again             I am born again                   and when...
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-|
...you...                   touched my life
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
I've been born again             I am born again
A|-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-|-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-15-|


Long bridge (pretty much the same on both versions):
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
                                                                 And when...
A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|


The cool thing about the Roaring Lambs version is the cut out after the long
bridge for the last chorus. Here's the riff for that (the s6 means slide down
to 6th fret without plucking):

...you...touched my life  ...  i am torn again                    I am...
A|-7--------------|-s6--------------|-4-4-4-2-4-4-4-2-|-4-4-4-2-4-4-4-2-|
...born       a --- gain  yeeaaaaaah! (go to normal chorus)
A|-3-3-3-2-3-3-3-2|-3-3-3-2-3-3-5-5-|


Roaring Lambs version ends with verse riff insead of chorus:
A|-7-7-7-5-7-7-7-5-|-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-| x 2 - end on an E

Like I said, email me if you think anything is wrong. I've only been
playing the bass for three days now. God bless!
