Tabs

John Carpenter
1978

Here it is! The theme from that great Movie Halloween.
I learned it on guitar and thought I would tab it out.
This song was originally played on the Keyboard but sounds great on
Guitar.
Now, There are two parts to this song.
There is the Main riff and the bass riff.
It is rather hard to do both at the same time
but it can be done by tapping. Listen to the song to get everything
straight.  Well, Here it is. In standard tuning. Enjoy!

  Main Riff:1
E-------9------9------9----10-----(2X)-8-----8-----8---9---(2X)-|
B---------7-7----7-7----7-----7----------6-6---6-6---6---6-------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

First Bass Riff:

Low E:--2---5--6--(Let each note ring)-------------|

                           Then...

B----5-5---5-5---5---5-------------4-4-----4-4-----4-----4---------|
