Album: The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek
Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert
Email: *
Tuning: Standard
Note: Sweet song on the bass, the song is actually carried quite a bit with it, even
getting a cool little solo. It's always best to listen to the CD to get the rhythms
down right, so if you've got it, use it.

Intro 1: Played during the clean intro. It's an octave up from the
         regular bass riff. Listen closely for the rhythm, the notes 
         happen on beat one.

Intro 2: (0:17) Hard and loud, the main riff. Listen for rhythm.

        normal.

E|--3-3-1-1---------1-3-3-1-1------------------------------|

There are more than just two hits on these first chords, like I
said, listen to the CD for the rhythm, these are just the notes.
                                  
Chorus: at (2:26) and (2:37), like every other chorus: short, quick
        hits until last Eb.

During the clean ending to the very last chorus play these notes at the same time as
the guitar.

D|---------|
A|--6~-----|
E|-----6~--|

Well, that's it. Remember, my tab for guitars fits right in with this bass tab. I hope
it big, touring with Good Charlotte and Simple Plan and getting on Now 19. I just hope
they keep their heads on straight and don't forget their roots. Thanks again. God Bless.
