Bass tabs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAN YOU DIG IT - The Mock Turtles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Mick "Legohead" Morley e-mail: [email protected] http://www.legoheads.com Tuning: Standard Following a few "guitar only" intro bars the bass starts... G|-------------------------------------------| This run up is D|--------------------------111-111----------| played just once A|-----------------22-044-0------------------| before moving to E|-00-022-044-055-0--------------------------| intro riff below
G|-------------------------------------------| This riff may be played D|-------------------------------------------| either twice or four times A|-----------242-----------------------------| depending on the version E|-024542-245--------------------------------| you are playing* Once the verse starts you play right through to the end of the chorus... G|-------------------------------------------| This riff is the same basic D|-21----------------------------------------| pattern for all verses A|---4242------------------------------------| and choruses but not for E|-------245242------------------------------| instrumental later on At the post chorus bridge part you play... G|-------------------------------------------| This bit is repeated D|-------------------------------------------| several times depending A|-44-2-0-0000-------------------------------| on the verse/chorus it E|-------------------------------------------| follows And then to finsh the bridge part... G|-------------------------------------------| The B is on the word "sad" D|-------------------------------------------| with the A coming on the A|-2222-2222-0-0-0-0-------------------------| words "someone turn the E|-------------------------------------------| light on" The instrumental verse starts with the verse/chorus riff played twice... G|-------------------------------------------| D|-21----------21----------------------------| A|---4242--------4242------------------------| E|-------24542-------24542-------------------| At which point the bass hits either D or E on the A string and slides to 12th fret and back repeatedly. Best to experiment with what sounds best for you. * Obviuosly, during the main riff the A played on the 5th fret of the E string may be played open on the A string... I find it better to fret it but it's really down to your style and preference. ===============================================================================
