Standard Tuning - 4 String Bass I thought this was a cool song, so I made an attempt at it. It's mostly played on the E and A strings. () - means hold the note / - means slide up \ - means slide down The Intro goes like this: E:------------------------77777777--------- A:-44-55-55555555-44444444--------44-55---- D:----------------------------------------- G:----------------------------------------- Repeat that twice and after the 2nd time add a '(5)' on the A string. Then you'll play this twice: E:------------------77777777---------- A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000-- D:------------------------------------ G:------------------------------------ After playing that twice, play this twice as well: E:------------------7777--77---------- A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000-- D:--------------44-------------------- G:------------------------------------ Then, you'll play this: E:---------77--------77--------77------777-- A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0- D:------------------------------------------ G:------------------------------------------ Then you go back to the chorus. Play this four times: E:-------------------77777777------ A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- D:--------------------------------- G:--------------------------------- On the fourth time, add a '(5)' to the A string Then play this twice: E:------------------77777777---------- A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000-- D:------------------------------------ G:------------------------------------ Followed by this played twice: E:------------------7777--77---------- A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000-- D:--------------44-------------------- G:------------------------------------ Then you play this once again: E:---------77--------77--------77------777-- A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0- D:------------------------------------------ G:------------------------------------------ Then the chorus four more times: E:-------------------77777777------ A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- D:--------------------------------- G:--------------------------------- Again, you'll add the '(5)' on the A string Hold that note out into this next part. The song will break down and the bass holds some notes. I spaced the numbers to try to show tempo. Listen to the cd to get it down. It goes: E:----------------(5)-/10\2-- A:--(4)----(2)--24----------- D:--------------------------- G:--------------------------- E:---------------------(5)--------------------- A:--22-22222-22-22222-------22-22222-22-22222-- D:--------------------------------------------- G:--------------------------------------------- E:-(5)-/10\2--------------------- A:------------22-22222-22-22222-- D:------------------------------- G:------------------------------- E:-(5)-/10\2--------------------- A:------------22-22222-22-22222-- D:------------------------------- G:------------------------------- E:--------------------- A:--22-22222--2-2-2-2-- D:--------------------- G:--------------------- Then you come near the end with the chorus played four more times: E:-------------------77777777------ A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55- D:--------------------------------- G:--------------------------------- Once again, add and hold the '(5)' on the A string after the fourth time. Hold it to the next part. Then you end the song with this: E:----------------(5)-- A:--(4)----(2)--24----- D:--------------------- G:--------------------- And that's it. Hopefully I got it right. Correct as you see fit or email me if you need anything. Good luck.
