Please Do Not Go bass tab by Violent Femmes

Standard tuning (E,A,D,G)

Best results: Acoustic 4 stringed bass with a thick pick (at least 2mm.)

If using an AMP put the bass, treble, and mid to +15. On the bass set all nobs to 10.

Volume over powers all other instruments and fades to nothing at the very end.

KEY:
----
 s - Sixteenth notes (1/16)
 t - Thirty second notes (1/32)
 q - Quarter notes (1/4)
.q - Dotted Quarter notes (1/4 + 1/16)
 h - Half notes  (1/2)
(3q3) - 3 Notes in one beat  (1/3)

 R - Rest
 H - Hammer on (Slur up)
 P - Pull off (Slur down)

4/4 time, 90 beats per measure.

Enjoy!
