How to play 'Stir it up', by Bob Marley, in G

I sing this in the key of G. When gigging, and in this video, I also use my Boss RC30 loop station. This enables me to loop bass line, chords and vocal lines. Below are the details for both bass and chord sections.

The chord progression remains the same throughout the song. I play it as follows:

| G / / / | Am7 / D9 / |


G tab:

3
3
4
5
5
x


Am7 tab:

5
5
5
5
x
5


D9 tab:

5
5
5
4
5
x


Below is the strumming pattern.

UPPERCASE = Strike the strings
lowercase = move your hand but don't strike the strings.
D and d = down
U and u = up

d,u,D,U,d,u,D,u

I loop the chords and also play a 'bass line' that I loop. The tab for the bass line is:

----------------------------------------­------------
----------------------------------------­------------
----------------------------------------­-------2---
-----------------------------2--5-------­--4-------
------2--3--2-------2h3---------3h5-----­-----
--3-------------------------------------­-----------


...and here is my version :)
