Song

Bass Tab For Can't Stop These Things by China Drum

From The Album 'Goosefair'

Intro:

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

Play the above and add this as an ending:

G|-------------|
D|---1---1-1---|
A|-3---3-----3-|
E|-------------|

Then play the intro again, but end with this:

G|------------|
D|-1--1-1-----|
A|--------3-2-|
E|------------|

Now on to the verse:

Verse:

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------1-1---------------------------------------------|
E|-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-----3--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1--1--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------4-3-1-|
E|-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-------|

Now as the words I would have more sense....... are sung, the bass

plays this (similar to first verse riff)

G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------5-5-------------------5--5-|
E|-3--3--3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-----1--1-1-1--1-1-1-1------|
G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|-5-5-5--5-5-5-|
E|--------------|

Then on to the Chorus:

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-6--6-6-5-4-3------------1-1-1-3-3-3--6--6-5-4-3------------1-1-1-1|
E|--------------3-3--3-3-3--------------------------3-3--3-3-3-------|

Repeat this twice for each Chorus.

Enjoy.
