Bass tabs
Song Title: Waiting for the Bus Artist: Violent Femmes ---------------------------------------------- ok, this is my 1st bass tab. this song has a good bass part, but i haven't found any postings for it, so i decided to figure it out myself. i'm pretty sure about most of this. it's a pretty easy song, and it's a bit repetitive. listen to the song for the timing. Part 1: -0---0------------------ ] ---------0-2h4-2-------- ] repeat 6 times ------------------------ ] ------------------------ ] Part 2 walkdown: -0------- ---3h2--- --------- --------- Part 2: this part comes after "standing by the corner, waiting for the bus.." -------0--2-0--------0--2-0--------------------- ----2-------------2----------------0--2-0------- -3-------------3----------------2-------------2- -----------------------------3-------------3---- --------------------0--2-0--------0---- -0h2-0-----------2-------------2-----2- -------3h2-0--3-------------3---------- --------------------------------------- * Part 3 walkdown: "my precious time keeps slipping past.." -------------------------------------- -0-----------0----------0------------- -----------------------------3--2---0- -------------------------------------- Part 3: -------------- ] -------0--2-0- ] repeat 6 times ----2--------- ] -3------------ ] * another Part 1 walkdown: "the damn city bus moves so slow" --------------------------0----------- ----------------------------3--2--0--- -------------------------------------- -----3---------3---------------------- do Part 1 again then do Part 3 walkdown then there's a part with just drums & talking.. Part 4 walkdown: after "will you please open up the back door?" -0---------- ----3--2--0- ------------ ------------ Part 4: -------0--2-0--------0--2-0----------------------------- ----2-------------2----------------0--2-0--------0--2-0- -3-------------3----------------2-------------2--------- -----------------------------3-------------3------------ *Part 5: "you got the mother and the kids E-------------------------------3-2--3 "you got the guy and his date" E----------------------------3-2--3 "we all get mad" E--------------3-2--3 "we all get laid" E---------------3-2--3 "looks like somebody" E-------------------3-2--3 "forgot about us" E---------------3-2--3 "standin on the corner, waiting for the bus" -0------------0---------------------------- ----------------3-----3-2-------------2-0-- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- do Part 1 again * Ending: "my precious time keeps slipping past" ------------------------------------------- ------------------------0------------------ -5---------4-5------------3--2--0---------- -----------------------------------3------- the rhythm of the lines with the * in front of them are matched up with the words mail me ([email protected]) if you have any comments or complaints, and sorry if the tab is too confusing.. i'm too tired to look it over:) Submitted by: Amy Bowen ([email protected])
