The bass is pretty simple, mainly consisting of root, fifths and eighth notes for improvisation.
There is no bass until the bridge:
Am7 Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am G D C D
G---------------------------------------------------------------7------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------5--7----------------
A--------------------5-----5------------------------------5-----------------5-----7--5---Repeat once
E-----5-------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------
The second bridge is the same as this.
Third Bridge:
Am7 Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am G D C D
G------------------------------11-12-14------------------------7-------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------5--7-----------------
A----------------5-----5----------------------------------5----------------5-----7--5----
E-----5-------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------
Am7 Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am G D C D
G------------------------------------------------------------7---------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------5--7------------------
A--------------------5-----5--------------------------5--------------------5-----7--5----
E-----5---------------------------------5------------------------------------------------
The Bass now joins in one verses:
If there?s a bustle in your hedgerow, don?t be alarmed now. It?s just a spring clean for the May Queen
G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---3--------------2-----------------0----------------------0---2--3--------------2------------------------0-
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3-------
Continue this riff through the verse

The link between the last verse and the solo is simple, just the root notes of D, C and later B or G depending on the players own preference riff.
