Where Is My Mind bass tab by Pixies

Bass Tab

This is the correction/addition to:
"Where Is My Mind?"
By: The Pixies
Album:Surfer Rosa

Originally Tabbed By: Edgar Aguilera
Re-tabbed By: Bobby Lukens
Additions by : KIXX (ecy69@netscape.net)

This tab has nothing to do with the original bass line of the song. I put
it up here for the ones who want to play/cover this song with more attractive
groove :) You play "Bridge to Riff x" between each of the appropriate riffs...

Also a note for the re-tabbing of the original: I can not agree with Bobby
Lukens on that second riff. Though the guitars mute at that point, I
still hear the C# which our friend has left out in Riff 2. Moreover, I checked
is right on that riff.

Pixies bass tabs for Where is my mind

About this song

"Where Is My Mind" by Pixies is the closing track on their 1988 album "Surfer Rosa." The song was written by the band's frontman Black Francis and is known for its distinctive guitar riff played by Joey Santiago. The lyrics were inspired by Francis' experience scuba diving in the Caribbean. Despite not being a commercial success upon its release, the song gained popularity after being featured in the film "Fight Club" in 1999. "Where Is My Mind" has since become one of Pixies' most iconic and recognizable songs.
