Bass tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
Intro:
The bass line starts immediately so be prepared to play catch up with the track when you first start.
About 101 bpm if you want to try to follow with a metronome
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----5----5----5---------------------4/5------|
A|--------------------5----5----6----6------------| x4 on the last repeat slide up one fret to fret 5 on
E|------------------------------------------------| the D string
Verse 1:
The bass line repeats in the same pattern, however it's deeper in mix and tone you may want to consider a
pitch shifter to match the song.
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------| x3
E|----6----6----6----6--3----3----3----3--------|
Alternatively, don't play the above and listen for the third repeat. The third repeat begins the chorus
Chorus:
"You think you're Space Ghost, you're wanted Coast to Coast..."
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5-----------------------------------4/5---------------------|
A|-------------------5--------6---------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 2: The standard bass doesn't come in until halfway through the verse, the first half repeats the same
as verse 1
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------| x2
E|----6----6----6----6--3----3----3----3----------|
The standard bass comes in here at "Really think that metal gonna make you safe "
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----5----5----5---------------------4/5------|
A|--------------------5----5----6----6------------| x2
E|------------------------------------------------|
Chorus:
"You think you're Space Ghost, you're wanted Coast to Coast..."
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5-----------------------------------4/5---------------------|
A|-------------------5--------6---------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 3: Deeper bass line only
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------| x2
E|----6----6----6----6--3----3----3----3----------|
No bass is played after "Afford the clothes our heroes own ":
Bridge begins after "Too small to see the road":
During the bridge it's escalating to the chorus, this chorus is different. In a very faint mix right after
"You're wanted coast to coast," as the whole mix is escalating, the standard bass is playing the following.
Walk down from the D string to the A after the eight 12 fret notes, matching the vocals "go my way, now you
go yours"
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--10---------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------12--10--------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
btw how cool is the clicking at this part topped off with a smooch, nice
Verse 4/Outro:
If you've been able to keep beat through the verses, Verse 4 is no different. There's more crunch to it, but
that's the only difference.
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|--5----5----5----5---------------------4/5------|
A|--------------------5----5----6----6------------| x13 after bridge, on the 13th and final repeat end sliding
E|------------------------------------------------| up to 5th fret on D
************************************
Still figuring out a small part of the escalation part, subtle just like the chorus, will hopefully have an
update later.
