This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

My version of Rip it Up - I think it's 100%

correct. Please shower me with abuse if I'm wrong.

h - hammer on

Track starts with Lead Guitar - but part sounds

good on Bass.

G-----------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------|* x2
A---------2---2---4h5-4--2h4-2--2---|*
E-4---4-----------------------------|

This part is played by lead during the verse

but bass has a variant on the part.

G--------------------------------4---2--|
D---------------------------------------|* x5
A---------2---2----5--5--4--4--2---0----|*
E-4---4---------------------------------|

Then verse into chorus.

G---------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------|
A---------2---2---4444444455555---------|
E-4---4---------------------------------|

(did you hear that shit...)

Chorus

G--------------------------------|
D--------------------------------|* x2
A-2-----2------------------------|*
E-----------4--4---3--3--3--3----|

then

G--------------------------------|-------------------------------
D------------------------2---2---|-------------------------------
A-2-----2---------4---4----------|-------------------------------
E-----------4--4-----------------|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--etc.

Next is a little bass break with Jedi Master Jay

scratching in the background. It is just the bass

verse riff twice.

G--------------------------------4---2--|
D---------------------------------------|* x5
A---------2---2----5--5--4--4--2---0----|*
E-4---4---------------------------------|

Then verse 3 times

G--------------------------------4---2--|
D---------------------------------------|* x3
A---------2---2----5--5--4--4--2---0----|*
E-4---4---------------------------------|

Then Verse into Chorus

G---------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------|
A---------2---2---4444444455555---------|
E-4---4---------------------------------|

Then Chorus

G--------------------------------|
D--------------------------------|* x2
A-2-----2------------------------|*
E-----------4--4---3--3--3--3----|
G--------------------------------|-------------------------------
D------------------------2---2---|-------------------------------
A-2-----2---------4---4----------|-------------------------------
E-----------4--4-----------------|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--etc.

Lead Guitar Bridge - Can be played on Bass

G---------------------------------------|
D---------5-6-7--7--7h6h7-6-5-----------| x6
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

There are two variants -

2nd Time

G---------------------------------------|
D---------5-6-7--(let ring)-------------|
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

last time

G---------------------------------------|
D---------5-6-7--(staccato)-------------|
A-7--7-77-------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

That should be enough - the rest of the song is similar.

After the last chorus just play repeated Gs (3rd fret,

E string for those bass players who only know tab).
