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

Song

Artist: The Atomic Bitchwax

Song: Hope You Die

Album: The Atomic Bitchwax

Bassist: Chris Kosnik

Tabbed by: LedZeplica

Kosnik has his own unique effect, which he uses alot on this song. The best

way I can describe it is a synthesized flanger, or maybe a distorted flanger.

Anyways, I just use a synth effect and it sounds enough like it to work.

h = hammer on

p = pull off

b = bend string up

This is a really cool song.. The focal point of the song is the lyrics, so

during the verses the musical talent is a little lacking. But it picks up..

Here's the verse riff, repeat it alot..

G|---------
D|---------
A|-3--5----
E|---------

Then play Riff 2..

G|-----------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------
A|-5-5-5-5-----0-3-5-5-5-5-----0-3---
E|---------3p0-------------3p0-------
G|----------------------------------
D|---------------------3------------
A|-5-5-5-5-----0-3-5-5--------------
E|---------3p0-----------3----------

Then the second verse riff is the same as the first verse..

Then play riff 2 again..

Then play Riff 3 for the chorus..

G|------------------------------------
D|-----3-3-5b--5--5-3---------3-3-----
A|-5-5----------------5-3-5-5---------
E|--------------------------------3---

Then to end the chorus play this..

G|-----------------------------
D|----------------5-5--5h7-----
A|-5-5--7-7--8-8---------------
E|-----------------------------

Then play the verse riff again..

Then Riff 2..

Then Riff 3 again for the chorus..

To end this chorus, play this twice..

G|-------------------------5h7-
D|----------------5-5--5h7-----
A|-5-5--7-7--8-8---------------
E|-----------------------------

Then there's a little break, where the bass plays this.. its just riff 2 with

a slight variation..

G|--------------------------------
D|--------------------------------
A|-5-5--5-3-0-3-5-5--5-3-0-3------
E|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|----------------2-3-------------
A|-5-5--5-3-0-3-5-----------------
E|-------------------3------------

Then play riff 2..

Then Riff 3 for the chorus..

Then to end this chorus, play this three times..

G|-------------------------5h7-
D|----------------5-5--5h7-----
A|-5-5--7-7--8-8---------------
E|-----------------------------

And then play this for the ending..

G|-------------5h7-5h7-5h7--5h7--5h7--5h7-----------
D|----------------------------------------5h7-------
A|-5--5--5--5---------------------------------8--5--
E|--------------------------------------------------

And thats it.
