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

disappearer

bass tab by chris lawrence

this is taken from the 'goo demos' version, which may be slightly

different than the lp version, i dont know..

intro:

E--\13--13-13-13-13-13-13--\15--15-15-15-15-15-15- etc etc etc whatever

end on: E---12-- barre your finger across and toss in a 12th fret note

on the G string

then switch to: A---15---

the verse goes:

A--15--15--15-15-15--15--15-----------------------------
E----------------------------15\11/13--13-13-13-13- etc-

"turns to sleep":

D--\13-13-13-13-13-13-----------------------------
A----------------------\10-10-10-10--\10-10-10-10-

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

"been away too long"

E--13----15-- thump these notes!

then:   D---14---
then:   A---15---

then for the break, re-play the intro riff at first. then change slightly

to:

E--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-\15-15/-12--

then for the large build-up at the very end of the jam, go nuts

on the F note:

E--13-- (rapid pick)

and end that part on: A--15--

and play it all again. or something.
