Violent Femmes – Never Tell (Bass Intro Tab)

Auto-scroll

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazing song that somehow has no tabs on the interwebs, so I figured I'd throw this up here. Not going to bother going through the many fills and variations that Brian does throughout--just the bare bones so you can play around with it yourself. The song is really just dm Bb C and the bass riffs on top of that. Skeletal riff:
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------3-----------------------------------------|
A|------5-----0h3h5----3h5---3h5------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|
