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

Song: Shine a Light

Performer: Spiritualized

Album: Lazer Guided Melodies

Writers: Jason Pierce

Transcribed by Aaron Heisler

(gravitygrave_resident@yahoo.com)

Notes: I also did a chord transcription for this

(in the OLGA archive). So you may want to check

that out. I've tabbed this for a five-string bass.

If you want to play this on a four-string (and

that's quite alright), then just replace the 1

on the B string with a 3 on the A string....it's

still a C note, just not as low :-)

The song is played in 3/4 time. The chords are

played with F and C at 1 bar each, then G for 2

bars, then back to start. Use this timing to

play the bass.

Pretty much the whole song is based around this riff

(I've put the chords on top so that the timing

is self-explanatory):

~=Trill

F C G

G ------2-----------------------
D 3-3-3--------2----------------
A -------3-3-3--------2---------
E --------------3-3-3----3-3-3-3

B ------------------------------

continued...

F C G

G ------------------------------0-7~
D -----------------------2-2-2-0----

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

E -3-3-1-0-1---1--------------------
B -----------------1----1-----------

Then back to start.
