----------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Sadie Hawkins Dance Band: Relient K Album: The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert Email: [email protected] 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.

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.

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. | * palm muted p pull-off | / slide up ~ vibrato | \ slide down + harmonic | h hammer-on x Mute string =======================================================================
