Tab Notes

Obviously the Bb3 string is missing here because this editor will not let me ender notes for an 8th string as it only accepts up to seven. No matter because we never touch the Bb string on this song. These are reference points only for fretting notes. The meter and notation (rests and such) are eliminated, mostly because this isn't designed to be accurate for that purpose. It's just so you can use it as a cheat sheet for where the frets are located. Listen to the song and match the frets to that and you'll be golden. All notes are hammered on (also obviously). If you're really adventurous, you can even manage to play this on a 6-string bass, but I would recommend light gauge strings, a very flat neck and a damper at the first fret to eliminate overtones.

 

Stave 1: Intro with right hand

Stave 2: Left handed couter points in melody

Stave 3: Bridge left hand (after "back talk" and "cheap talk")

Stave 4: Interlude (2:36 - 3:09)
