#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE----------------------------------# # This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # # song.

It's still a kickass song though. Kelly LaMieux plays this song with a pick...if you care to emulate his style on this song, you should too...also, the bass has a more deep, full, sound for those with cool tone controls. No distortion or effects, except for a bit of a wah effect at the ending on the bass (no big deal if you don't have a wah, it sounds fine without it too). Bass tacit all through "...You and I at a little toy shop...99 Red Balloons go..."; then guitar starts up a bit. Intro: (on the word "...by", rests 2 bars, then) G: ---------------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------------- A: ---------------------------------------------- E: ---0--------------------------------0--------- Bridge: (For want of a better word!) G: ---------------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------------- A: -----7-7------7------------------------------- E: -----------9------9---2--h-4-p-2--0----------- G: ---------------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------------- A: ------7-7-------7----------------------------- E: -------------9--------9---7--7--7--9---------- Main riff: (i.e. through verses and mini-solos) G: ---------------------------------------------- D: ---------------------------------------------- A: -------------0-----2-------------------------- E: --0----2-------------------------------------- (hit each note 5 times) At the ending it goes through the main riff quietly without a pick, and only plays each note once instead of 5 times. Piece of cake. Enjoy!! Any comments/marvels at the amasing bass skills needed to tab this complex piece, send to i_dUNNO16@Hotmail.com Tabbed by Lord Whitey the Omniscient |
