Subject: BASS TAB: Old Friend by Rancid
Play this song fast, and impress people. It has a great sound to it, and is
one of the
few basslines I've seen that stands alone without accompaniment.
.... oh... the "h"s mean "hammer on". Play with a pick.

INTRO
CHORUS
Good morning heartache your like an old friend
come and see me again
Good morning heartache your like an old friend
come and see me again
VERSE
Wake up, you're in Cleveland again
a solid line that never ends
I've got stories that you'll never believe
and I know it, I wear it, I wear it on my sleeve
VERSE II
There must have been something about you that I liked
but here in the rain you know it just don't seem right.
I always go out, I never hide
but in Cleveland, I should have stayed inside.
CHORUS
VERSE
Testify my love for you and I know it runs deep
thru your body too
from the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
the old tin van, it ain't so sweet.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
No Bass
Somewhere in America through the city night
we were far from home, but you know it's gonna be alright.
CHORUS Bass
VERSE
Unfourtunate get prayed on my vulture eyes
eighty six cents in these pockets of mine
and you can take my money, you can take my time
but you can't take my heart, it's in the city behind.
CHORUS
