Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert
Email: tmacman001@yahoo.com
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.
Bb F G Eb
G|--3~-------8~--|
D|-----3~-5~-----| 3X
A|---------------|
E|---------------|
Intro 2: (0:17) Hard and loud, the main riff. Listen for rhythm.
Bb F G Eb
G|--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------| 2X
A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6--|
E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------|
On this third time thru the riff, don't play the last Eb.

open quarter notes to go with them.

Verse 2: (1:04) Same as Verse 1, main riff with open quarter notes.
Chorus: (1:15) Same as first chorus.
At (1:26) there's a part before the little guitar solo. Play the first line of Intro 2
(the main riff) once.

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.

E|-----6~--|
Well, that's it. Remember, my tab for guitars fits right in with this bass tab. I hope
you like it, rate it, and duplicate it. RELIENT K ROCKS! I'm glad they're finally making
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.
