Bass tabs
"Pain Lies On The Riverside" by Live from the Mental Jewelry Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury I'm not sure about the chorus or bridge parts...what I have written is a very simple way to play it (the roots of the chords basically...) so do whatever you like in that part. I get the feeling this song played 1/2 step below standard tuning (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb) since Live usually tunes down...but you can play it the way I have it written and it sounds cool. I indicate the verse riff as being played slap-style. You can use a pick and turn the highs up if you like to get that slap-like sound. The verse is played quickly so if your slap technique is lagging or a bit slow, it'd be hard to play w/o a pick. Hey...it's just notes. You play them as you like! Gtr.
