Liar

Queen
Bass Tab

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

This is my first contribution to the site, so bear with me here.

I was looking at the tab on here for the bass solo to Liar by Queen, and let's face it,

it's COMPLETELY off.

So over the course of an afternoon I worked it out to what I believe to be as close as

possible, hopefully you guys will agree.

At about the 4:57 mark (at the end of the "All day long" bit), the bass goes into the

following little riff:

G |-----------------------------------------|
D |-----------------------------------------|
A |--------------------------------7-5-7----|
E |-3-0-0---0-3-0-0---0-3-0-0---0-----------|

Play the above three times, then it goes into this bass run:

G |--------------------------8-----|
D |---------------9--11--12--------|
A |-7--9--10--12-------------------|
E |--------------------------------|

This leads into the infamous bass solo itself:

G |-9--11--12--11--9--11--12--11--9--11--12--11--9--11--12--11------|
D |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|

This is repeated three times, then ends with a final bass run:

G |--9--7--5--4--2--0----------------------------------------|
D |---------------------4--2--0------------------------------|
A |-------------------------------3--2--0--2--0---------2----|
E |-----------------------------------------------3--2-------|

Hope you guys enjoy, let me know if there are any changes you would suggest!
