Do You Want New Wave bass tab by Minutemen
Bass Tab
@Song: Do You Want New Wave (or Do You Want the Truth)? Written by Mike Watt Recorded by Minutemen on album "Double Nickles on the Dime" (SST) File format: tab, btab Transcription: Gary Von Colln The main chords in this song are Bm and D. The Bridge is Fm. The guitar part uses fast right hand picking or slow strums so that the individual notes from the chords sound. Use your thumb and index finger or thumb and middle finger to pluck the two strings for the turnaround riff. I have also tabbed the bass part. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bm                      D
A word war              will set off the keg.
My words of war         Should a word have two meanings?
What the fuck for?      Should words serve the truth?

I stand for language.   I speak for truth.
I shout for history.    I am the cesspool.
For all the shit        to run down in.
Bm                      D (3x)
Bm  A  G  A  D  (4x)
