Bass tab
transcribed by Russ Hermans russ_hermans@hotmail.com
timing: 2/4
key: A minor
part 1
(Vary between these parts, you can
switch up the hammer
ons and
single notes anywhere, just maintain an A octave
then A root, followed by a D single
note or hammer or an
E single note or hammer, then A root
again. You can also
do slides instead of hammers.)

told you..."

part 3
(if you don't know slap
technique... good luck. it's pretty
tough to figure out exactly what
mike is doing, i did my best,
but this is just a guide. The * line is technique, what to
slap and pop. x=muted note /=slide
h=hammer p=pull off)

comes back in with...
E-3-5-5-5-|
and then follows the verse pattern
until that pause. it stops on a low D.
B-3-|
Then goes back to verse riff again till the fade out.
That's the most accurate tab of the song I've ever seen if I
do say so
myself. Have fun with it. Keep a nice funky groove.
