Swanson (cygnus2@cygnus2.com) I'm still not sure if this song has a bass in it at all! The guitar tab at OLGA by "John Doe" states the use of 4 guitars. In any case, I wanted to play it on the bass, so this is what I came up with- try it. The beat count above the tab is my attempt to show some kind of timing.(:=repeat) Play this over the Intro, Verse 1 and Verse 2. Hold the notes on the first, third and fourth down beats. B G A B G A 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ---------------|---------------||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-------------------------- ---------------|---------------||會會會會會會會-------------------------- -2-----------0-|-2-----------0-||會會會會會會會-------------------------- ---------3-----|---------3-----||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-------------------------- Play this over the break between Verses 1 and 2 in sync with the drums- note: If your drummer doesn't play this beat, play to whatever he is playing. B B G A B B G A 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & -----------------|---------------|----------------|----------------||-|-- -----------------|---------------|----------------|----------------||會-- -2-2--22-2-2--22-|--------0-0--00|-2-2--22-2-2--22|---------0-0--00||會-- -----------------|3-3--33--------|----------------|-3-3--33--------||-|-- For the chorus, it sounds nice and chunky to play each beat. (I also "release mute" with my left hand on all but the open notes and the F#'s at the end of the riff) B B G A B B E 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & ---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|--- ---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|--- -2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-|---------|-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-|---------|--- ---------|---------|-3-3-3-3-|---------|---------|---------|-0-0-0-0-|--- F# 3 & 4 & ---------||-|------------------------------------------------------------ ---------||會------------------------------------------------------------ ---------||會------------------------------------------------------------ -2-2-2-2-||-|------------------------------------------------------------ Verse 3 starts out the same as Verse 1 and 2, then changes to follow the pattern of the chorus when the vocals kick in. First play this: Then play this over the vocals: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ---------------|---------------||-|---------------|---------------||-|-- ---------------|---------------||會---------------|---------------||會-- -2-----------0-|-2--------0----||會-2-----------0-|-2-------------||會-- ---------3-----|-------3-------||-|---------3-----|---------0---2-||-|-- After the second chorus comes the guitar solo. Rather than going back to the same old single notes over the changes, I strum power chords on the upper part of the neck. Here are the positions. Strum once on the first down beat and again on the next two up beats like this: boom-ba..ba boom-ba..ba B B G A B B 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & -16-16---16-16-16---16|------------14-14---14|-16-16---16-16-16--16|----- -16-16---16-16-16---16|-17-17---17-14-14---14|-14-16---16-14-16--16|----- -14-14---14-14-14---14|-17-17---17-12-12---12|-14-14---14-14-14--14|----- ----------------------|-15-15---15-----------|---------------------|----- E F# 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ----------------------||-|----------------------------------------------- -14-14---14-16-16---16||會----------------------------------------------- -14-14---14-16-16---16||會----------------------------------------------- -12-12---12-14-14---14||-|----------------------------------------------- After the solo, come out and play these notes over the last Verse (which is just the chorus sung as a verse).

My first tabbing attempt so, Good Luck! The Lyrics; (Well) I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind (Well) I left my body lyin' somewhere in the sands of time (Well) I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon (Well) I feel there's nothing I can do- yeah. (Well) I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon ...n'after all I knew it had to-be-somethin' to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then, As long as you'll be my friend at the end- C H (Well) If I go crazy then will you still call me superman? O (Well) If I'm alive then well will you be there a-holding my hand? R I'll keep you by my side with my super-hu-man mind; Kryptonite. U S You call me strong you call me weak but still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head If not for me then you'd be dead I picked you up, put you back on solid ground CHORUS - SOLO (Na-na-na-na na-no-no-no) - CHORUS-Sung as verse (softly) YEAH! CHORUS Whao-oh, whao, whao! Whao-oh, whao, whao! Whao-oh, whao, whao!
