                   SPITTING VENOM - Modest Mouse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



   This is my first tab, and it seems ritual to say so, so there.
I was devastated (did i spell that wrong?) when nobody had even tried to tab this the way
Eric plays it, so i took my time to make
this tab for all you Modest Mouse-loving Bass players, like me.
   Sorry if the timing's off, but its a tab, not sheet music, so deal with it.
The bass is somewhat hard to hear, i suggest wearing heaphones so you can actually hear 
and listening to the rhythyms will help.

Intro: Guitar

1:28:heavy intro:

G|------------------------------------------|
D|14--12---10--9h10--12--14---11--9---------|

Play until:

1:59
"Hold on to what you need..."

G|12-12-14-14-12-12-14-14-16-16-17-17|

That's it, for up to the vague Jam.

Here's a somewhat general progression that seems to work for me, and a base to improvise on.

{All whole notes}
G|-------------------|
D|-----^9------------|
A|10--------9--------|
E|--------------12---|
