Mash tab by Television Music
Guitar tabs
Song: MASH (Suicide is Painless) TV Theme Words: Mike Altman Music: Johnny Mandel Transcribed by: Allen Victor My First Tab. I tried to keep the timing right. Dougie Fresh has the tablature of the lead melody, but I like adding the background "filler" notes, so I made this tab. His tab is included below mine. I would suggest using my tab if you have an acoustic guitar and want to play solo, since an acoustic is used in the TV theme, and the added notes sound better with an acoustic. This is how I play the MASH Theme song on my $30 K-Mart guitar. It's great to play as a solo!
