Sixpence None the Richer
Bass Tab

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

BASS TAB

The numbers above the tabs are the beats (in 4/4 time)

There may me subtle differences between this and the actual song,

but I believe it is right for the most part.

Intro:

(slide the "57" in intro and verse)

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------

3--3----5--5----3--3----5--5----3--3----5--57-----------3--3----
----------------------------3-5-----------------5-----------3-5-

Verse:

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------

3--3----5--5----3--3----5--5----3--3----5--57-----------3--3----
----------------------------3-5-----------------5-------------3-

From here through the end, notice that there are now four measures

per line, not eight.

Bridge:

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

0-0----0--2----0--2-------------  This is all an octave up, since
----2-------2-------2-----------  J.J. used a six string and my
-----------------------5--3-----  four string won't go low enough.

-------------------------------- You can try tuning the low E down

and retabbing it, but it's not really worth it.
