BULL IN THE HEATHER

Bass tab by Chris Lawrence

At the intro, she just plays loud pick scrapes, then:

G------------

D------------

A------------

E---3---3-3--  etc. etc. etc.

actually, she plays it an octave higher, on the 5th fret of the D string.

it sounds good if you alternate.

That goes thru the intro and verse, then for the "Betting on the

bull in the heather part", play this right at the start:

G--12--

D------

A------

E------

The bass is silent for the next bit, then comes in on a D(?):

This might not be right (it's the part right before the intro starts

again).

G--<12>-<12>--etc. (harmonics)

D--------------

A--------------

E--------------

Pretty minimal, but...
