Tabs
Sent: Monday, December 29, 1997 6:20 PM Song: 'Bad Company' Artist: by Bad Company Source: from the album 'Bad Company' (I love saying that ;-) ) OK, here¹s my attempt at tabbing Bad Company. It¹s kinda tough since it¹s mostly bass and piano but what the hell! I¹ll give it a shot. It¹s really sketchy right now but it might at least be a start....then again, maybe not! If anyone figures out the bass line, please send it to me!! Intro Piano Riff - Play quite a few times [F#F#] [C#C#] [D#D#] E------------------ B--11----6-----8--- G--11----6-----8--- D--11----6-----8--- A------------------ E------------------ Piano during verse [A#A#]Comp[C#C#]a[D#D#]ny [F#F#]Always [FF]on [C#C#]the [D#D#]run E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- [A#A#]Dest[C#C#]i[D#D#]ny [F#F#]Ooooh [FF]is the[C#C#]ris[D#D#]ing E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- suuuunnnnnnn........ E------------------------ B--6--x--6--x--6----8---- G--6--x--6--x--6----8---- D--6--x--6--x--6----8---- A------------------------ E------------------------ Repeat this verse riff as many times as necessary Note* For all these piano parts you may want to just play just the D MajorD and G+G strings. Chorus - I think this actually is a guitar, not a piano!! These chords may not be right, but they seem to fit pretty well.

E------------------------------- B--2---------------4------------ G--3---------------5------------ D--4---------------6------------ A--4---------------6------------ E--2---------------4------------ - For all these chorus chords, you will have to do some picking and strumming which I didn¹t tab out completely. day I [D#D#]die ii[C#C#] iii[D#D#] E----------------------------------------- B---------8--------6--------8------------- G---------8--------6--------8------------- D---------8--------6--------8------------- A---------6--------4--------6------------- E----------------------------------------- It also sounds good to slide from that C#C# to the D#D# Play the intro piano riff once then back into the verse After the 2nd chorus is this part which I tabbed out below. This leads into the solo.

Hope this sounds ok. The way I like to play it is to set my amp for a fair amount of distortion. For the piano part, I like to use the rhythym pickup but I back the volume off to about 3 and sometimes back off on the tone also. Then for the chorus, I just flip to the treble pickup with max volume and distortion. Good Luck! Steve Throne [email protected] or [email protected]
