Jawbone And The Air-rifle bass tab by The Fall
Bass Tab
The Fall - "Jawbone & the Air-Rifle" from the album Hex Enduction Hour, released 1982 BASS tabbed by: Elaine "Len" Will semi-permanent email: dishonest_don@hotmail.com I switched to bass from guitar about a year ago, on which I can pretty much only play songs by the Fall and Joy Division. There is obviously no demand for JD tabs; there's enough on the OLGA already. But I noted that there weren't enough Fall tabs, at least not for the songs I'd figured out. verse: (I used to play this on the G, but I think that's too high) G|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------| A|-------3-1-----3-1---------------| E|--3-3------3-3-----3-3-3-3-3-1---|
repeat that a few times and then sorta jam on the open A
"chorus":
G|------------------------------14--11------------|
D|--------11-11--14-14--11-11----------14-14-14---|
A|--12-12-----------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------| x3
and then: ("One is cursed and one is borne")
G|--11-14--11-------11--14-11-------|
D|-------------14--------------14---|
A|----------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|
back to verse, then something like this:
G|--------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--3--3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2--0--0-0--0-0--|
when this passage is repeated again near the end of the song,
it's like this or several variations thereof:
G|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|
A|-------------------2--------------|
E|--3--3-3--3-3--2-3---3-2-0--0-0---| etc.
