Her Majesty bass tab by The Beatles

artist:  Beatles
title:  Her Majesty
album:  Abbey Road
tuning:  standard


her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say
her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot but I got to get a belly full of wine
her majesty's a pretty nice girl someday I'm gonna make her mine ooh yeah
someday I'm gonna make her mine


possible version one:  the basic bass line
  (I know this song has no bass, but this is what it'd be)

parts above the brackets are played faster to fit in two beats

possible version three:   upper fretboard tapping

I know jack shit about tapping...
I've seen one friend do it and it blew my mind;  this is NOT the kind
where you tap with the right hand high on the fretboard and the left hand
low on the fretboard doing a counter line.  Stu Hamm I'm not, nor aspire
to be.   This is for fun.  And it helps if you keep your left index
finger across the 12th fret of both D and G strings to retain clarity and
harmonics

L=left hand    R=right hand

   R                                                      L
   L     R  R  R  L  L  L R     L R  R     R   R  R  L L  R
G--19---19-18-16-14----14-19---14-16-18----19-18-16-14----14-------
D--12---------------14---------------------------------14-19-19-19-
                                                          ^------^

   R   R  R  R  R R   R  L   R          R  R L  L   R  R   L  L  R  R
G--16----16----19-19----16--24-24-24---19-16----14-19--16----14-19----
D-----16----16-------17----------------------14-----------14-------19-
                            ^-------^


possible version four:  upper fretboard octave tapping

   sounds like shit...  don't bother...



I'll post more ways of playing this as they come about...
