Girlfriend Is Better bass tab by Talking Heads

Intro bass riff.

Repeats several times before changing slightly.
All notes are played staccato apart from the first note of D in the first 3 bars, and
the last not of D in the first 2 bars.

Wobble wobble time on the bass.
Verse modulation.

This is going to use fairly quick alternate picking in parts before moving into a kind
of galloping rhythm at the end. It's easy to pick out on the record though.
