Title: Nothing Compares 2 U
Author: Sinead O'Connor
Note: Original studio version
CAUTION: The song is a "regular" 4/4 ballad, a mean example of
"underwear-ripper-song", as I call this kind of works, so the
bass can be played straight or with some additional note.
In this TAB I'll show you the way I play it, and at the bottom I'll show
a nice variation you can make to give it more "life", just not to
fall asleep while you play it.
Enjoy and keep it simple :)

Bass starts with drums at 00:57,with the MAIN RIFF: G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|-3-33--3-------------------------|--7---7-7------------------------| A|----------3-33--3-4-5-55--5------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| FIRST CHORUS: (sings "'cause nothing compares...nothing compares...to you) G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|-5----3----5----3----------------|---------------------------------| A|--------------------3------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| Then (at 01:30) it goes with the MAIN RIFF again: G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|-3-33--3-------------------------|--3-----3------------------------| A|----------3-33-3-4-5-55--5-------|-----3---------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| Until 02:29,where the MAIN RIFF ends with G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------|--7---7-7------------------------| A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
And leads to the SECOND CHORUS (02:33),
which will be used until the end of the song:
(sings "'cause nothing compares...nothing compares...to you)
G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|--5----3-------------------------|---------------------------------| A|-----------5----3----------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
From 02:49 until the end the bass plays the MAIN RIFF and the SECOND
CHORUS. That's it.
END
A LITTLE VARIATION/ADDITION you can add to spread some life to
your groove:
