Automatic Flowers

Our Lady Peace
Bass Tab
4.1(3)

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

Song

Song: Automatic Flowers

Artist: Our Lady Peace

Album: Clumsy

Tabbed By: L.A.

I do believe the bassist (Duncan Coutts, on this CD at least) uses a 5

string. This is the tab for a 4 string, so if you tune the E string down to

D you'll be set.

16\ = slide down (or up as the case may be) till you reach the fret to be

played on the next higher/lower string

The outro is just the chorus played over and over with the various endings.

There are some little fills in there, if you really want them drop me a line

and I'll tab them. dumbassLA@users.basstabarchive.com
