INVADERS MUST DIE



BASS INTRO

 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| -9--9--9-9-9--9--9----------------------| x15

listen to the timing in the song, after repeating for the
fourth time, the guitar intro riff comes in. the bass 
carries on and in total repeats 15 times, and stops for
what would be the 16th time.


GUITAR INTRO RIFF
 E| ----------------------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2---2//12--12--7--7-7-9-9| x3 


the guitar intro riff ends missing out the last two notes
and then the same tab can become the Main Bassline which
is played on its own for two repeats, and then is
accompanied by the guitar for another two repeats as the 
guitar plays the main riff.


MAIN BASSLINE
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2---2//12--12--7--7-7-9-9| x4



GUITAR MAIN RIFF
 E| ----------------------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| -----------9------9--9--11--11----------|
 D| 11--11-11-----11------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| ----------------------------------111214|<<(that little bit 
 B| -----------12------12--12--14--14-------|  at the end of the
 G| 13--13-13------13-----------------------|   2/4 is played very
 D| ----------------------------------------|   fast and the '11,12
 A| ----------------------------------------|   & 14 are double notes
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| -----------12------12--12--14--14-------|
 B| 14--14-14------14-----------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| 16--16-16--19--16--19--19--21--21-------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|

immediatly as the synth riff ends, theres a very quiet and fast 
little bit, which is played in the same way as the '11,12 & 14'

 E|21-21-12-12-16-16-14-14------------------| if you listen 
 B| ----------------------------------------| carefully you 
 G| ----------------------------------------| should be able
 D| ----------------------------------------| to pick it out
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|
and i know that if you do pick it out, it might sound like its only 
single notes being played, but if you slow it down and listen to
it- well, its two of each note.


then theres some weird little strained synth noise. 
i cba to try and work out how to replicate it cus i
haven't even got my guitar plugged into an amp atm,
and it obv needs some kind of effect.

after that it cuts back into another bassline

 E| ----------------------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E|/9--9--7--3-2-/-9-9--7--3-2--9--9--7--3-2|

cue weird distorted voice
"Invaders must die"

then the MAIN BASSLINE comes back in accompanied by 
GUITAR MAIN RIFF

the MAIN BASSLINE repeats twice as the GUITAR MAIN RIFF is played
once through... but- there's a difference on the final quarter of 
the GUITAR MAIN RIFF

 E| 16--16-16--19--16--19--19---------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|

the two C# notes that are played on the top e1 string fret 21 are
missing, 

also
on the MAIN BASSLINE, the second time it is played, the last two 
notes are left out, which 'suprise suprise' are C# aswell, except 
usually played on the 9th fret on E6 string

 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2---2//12--12--7--7-7----|

in the gap were the notes are missing theres a drum fill and if you
want, you can play

 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9-9-0---9-9-0---9-9-0--9\\\0------------|

and the bass can also accompany and do the same thing

 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9-9-0---9-9-0---9-9-0--9\\\0------------|


Then Theres the "invaders Must Die" vocal bit again, but this time
its repeated like, 8 times

BASSLINE 2
 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9|

 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 7--7--7--7--7--6--6--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9|

thats repeated 4 times. except on the 4th repeat is cuts out like this-

 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9|

 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 7--7--7--7--7--6--6--9------------------------|


GUITAR RIFF 2
 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ---------------4--------5-5-5-5-4-2-----|
 A| ------------------4---------------------|
 E| 2--2--2--2--2---------------------------|

 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ------------------------5-5-5-5-4-2-----|
 A| 2--2--2--2--2--1--4---------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|

GUITAR RIFF 2 accompanies BASSLINE 2 and lasts for the same 4 repeats.
like the BASSLINE 2, it cuts out on the 4th repeat like this-

 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ---------------4--------5-5-5-5-4-2-----|
 A| ------------------4---------------------|
 E| 2--2--2--2--2---------------------------|

 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| 2--2--2--2--2--1--4---------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|


Then 

GUITAR MAIN RIFF
 E| ----------------------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| -----------9------9--9--11--11----------|
 D| 11--11-11-----11------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| ----------------------------------111214|
 B| -----------12------12--12--14--14-------|   
 G| 13--13-13------13-----------------------|   
 D| ----------------------------------------|  
 A| ----------------------------------------|   
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| -----------12------12--12--14--14-------|
 B| 14--14-14------14-----------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|


 E| 16--16-16--19--16--19--19--21--21-------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------|

is played through normally
but, the MAIN BASSLINE, is a little different this time-

 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------12--12--7--7-7-9-9| x1

 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2---2//12--12--7--7-7-9-9| x3

it just skips the 1st eighth of its usual two repeats.

when you finish this bit, theres a little high pitch noise and it
can be played by sliding from fret 21 on the e1 string to fret 7.
but it has to be quick.


Then it all goes a bit quiet really.
The BASS INTRO is played quietly in the background for 8 repeats
and GUITAR RIFF 3 is played aswell and also lasts for 8 repeats 

GUITAR RIFF 3
 E| ----------------------------------------| 
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--7h9-9-9--9--7-9----------------------| x8

Then BASSLINE 3 comes in along with the GUITAR INTRO RIFF

BASSLINE 3
 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9| x 2

GUITAR INTRO RIFF
 E| ----------------------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2---2//12--12--7--7-7-9-9| x 2

and yes. i know, at this point you can still hear the BASS INTRO
and GUITAR RIFF 3 in the background. but the thing is, im writing
this for a guitar and a bass, and like i said, theyr in the background
the dominate riffs are GUITAR INTRO and BASSLINE 3 atm.


GUITAR RIFF 4
 E| 16--16--16--16--1916191619161916--21--21--21--21--21--21--21--21|
 B| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------------------------------| x 3

 E| 16--16--16--16--1916191619161916--21----------------------------|
 B| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 G| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------------------------|
 E| ----------------------------------------------------------------| x 1

BASSLINE 4
 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 4--4--4--4--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9| x3

 G| ----------------------------------------------|
 D| ----------------------------------------------|
 A| ----------------------------------------------|
 E| 4--4--4--4--7--7--7--7------------------------| x1

GUITAR RIFF 4 and BASSLINE 4 then play simultaneously and repeat 3 times,
they start to repeat a 4th time, but the guitar cuts short and has a high
pitched C# sustained notethe bass however stops halfway through and cuts
into an entirely new bassline


BASSLINE 5
 G| -----------------------------------------------|
 D| -----------------------------------------------|
 A| -----------------------------------------------|
 E| 9-9---9-9---9-9---9-9---7-9-9-7-9-9-7-9-9-7-9-9| 

this bassline is played once, and if you wanna find sumin to do with the 
guitar during, try just doing powerchords for the last half
like this

 E| ------------------------------------------------|
 B| ------------------------------------------------|
 G| ------------------------------------------------|
 D| ------------------------------------------------|
 A| ------------------------9-11119-11119-11119-1111|
 E| ------------------------7-9-9-7-9-9-7-9-9-7-9-9-|

weird voice "we are the prodigy"
then it cuts back to the GUITAR INTRO, except dont place the second half
of each repeat, just...


 E| ----------------|
 B| ----------------|
 G| ----------------|
 D| ----------------|
 A| ----------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2| x3

oh, and the bass, is exactly the same, 

 G| ----------------|
 D| ----------------|
 A| ----------------|
 E| 9--9--7--3-2-2-2| x3

and it only repeats 3 times, because on what would be the 4th repeat, the 
music stops to convieniently remind you "invaders must die".
and then it goes back to doing the GUITAR MAIN RIFF one last time, while 
repeating the MAIN BASSLINE twice in the background. and then it all ends
but i cba to tab the like, way it ends, so just use your imagination.

thats it


 h   - hammer-on
 p   - pull-off
 b   - bend
 pb  - pre-bend
 r   - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately)
 /\  - slide into or out of (from/to "nowhere")
 s   - legato slide
 

doesnt use half of these but ahwell.
