THE DEAD MILKMEN
The Guitar Song - Bass

Now, I say it a lot, but I can't really play bass and don't own one.
I just have a shot at working stuff out on my guitar. So be nice, as
this is the best you're gonna get. From me, anyway.


Intro:
-----
    C                       F
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------3-3-3-2-0---
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------

This bit is curious. On this and the first line of the verse, the 
bass goes very faint (or inaudible). I desperately want to play
an F in the gap, which you could do, but in the song it sounds like
it's missing, so I've done it accordingly.


Verse:
-----
    C                       F
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------3-3-3-2-0---
E-----------------------------------------------------

    Am          C/G         F
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A---0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------------------
E---------------3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---

    C                       F
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------5-3-2-------------------------------
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------5-3---------------------------
E---------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---

    C                       F
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------5-3-2-------------------------------
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------5-3---------------------------
E---------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---

    C           Am          Bb
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------5-3-2-------------------------------
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------5-3-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------
E---------------------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1---

    C           F           C
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A---3-3-3-3-3-3-------------3-3-3-3-3-3---------------
E---------------1-1-1-1-1-1-------------3-3-3-3-3-3---


That's pretty much it! The solo bass is the same as the verse and the
outro kinda bit is just more C F and G as necessary. I don't think
there's any different stuff there.
