Once Upon A Time In The West bass tab by Dire Straits
Bass Tab
Difficulty: advanced Tabbed by Lilith Submitted by SomeOne This is lovely to play, as well as a good chord training. It's got an absolutely weird time feel (which IMO makes it interesting) using 3/4 and 4/4 mixed, I'm trying to indicate this but anyway I think it'll be no problem when you listen to the recording. Hope you like it, and please tell me if you find something I missed! -Lil-

The intro is played by guitar only, then the verse goes like this:
4/4 3/4 4/4 3/4
G|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|-
D|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|-
A|--------------|------7----55----|--------------|------7----55----|-
E|5-----55-----5|5--8------5----8-|5-----55-----5|5--8------5----8-|-

repeat the verse twice (very small variations) then into the bridge:
4/4 4/4 6/4
G|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-
D|----------------|33--33--33--33--|-----------------|-
A|55--55--55--55-3|---3---3---3----|-----------------|-
E|---5---5---5----|---------------3|55-133-01-----030|-
once again play the verse plus the bridge, then the verse again
and at end fade the whole thing out for nearly two minutes playing
the last two bars of the verse.
Have fun!
