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

I've had this tab around for ages, and never got round to posting

it. Its not perfect, but I hope its usefull. This is one of my

favourite tracks by the SMB. It's also one of the easiest for bass.

Notes

1) This is actually pretty simple. Each riff is repeated a

number of time to fill out the appropriate section. Listen to the

album (Coast to Coast) for the order.

2) The opening note is a bottom D - I've written its as for a

kubicki. Deal with it as appropriate for your hardware.

3) Notes in brackets are harmonics

4) There are some notes missing from the solo. These are lower

notes that fill in the gaps between the main melody line. I've

skiped these because I'm lazy.

5) The verse riff is a bit tricky, but there are no secrets to

it - just a case of good solid left and right hand technique

required.
