Tabbed by (lomans@bellsouth.net)
I heard this song the other day and really liked it. The opening bass line is more
when compared to most of Chevelle's stuff. I searched online for the tab and couldn't
find so here it goes. This line is correct (for the most part); I figured it out with
my electric without an amp, so I think most of the notes are sound. Also you can drop-D
a four to play this just move the fingering up the neck on the E-string. E-mail with any
corrections. Enjoy...
