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

Song

Here is the Bass transcrition to "One False Move" by Lizzy Borden.

Mainly this was done just so I could see some Lizzy Tab out there. (If

anyone wants to see more let me know.)

The bass on this song was performed by one of the following Joey Vera

(ex-Armored Saint, current Fates Warning), Mychal Davis (long time Lizzy

bassist), or Brian Perry, as all three are credited on the cd (If anyone

knows for fact e-mail me and let me know).

Performance notes:

1. "One False Move" is a dark song with light instrumentation (bass, two

primary guitars, and vocals,) with the bass being the primary instrument.

2. All notes are eight notes (I recommend tracking down the cd and

listening for the feel).

3. The A pedal note (5th fret-E string) could also be played as open A.

4. All text refers to line below it.

5. Most importantly: Enjoy
