Chemical Marriage

Mr. Bungle
Bass Tab

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

Song

"Chemical Marriage" by Mr. Bungle

Song #2 on the WB album "Disco Volante"

OK folks.. I'm no Trevor (although in 10 - 12 years I may be), but I've

got

this one bass tabbed pretty accurately.. At least this is how I do it

when

we (Placebo) cover it.. If you have any corrections, contact me via the

Internet at:

Joffe@juno.com

As you know there are many strange keyboard parts, etc. so you'll have to

figure out the exact rythym yourself, but this should help you out..

OK.. Less talk, more tab..

Key: / - slide up

r - rest

b - bend
