Sonic Youth - Androgynous Mind Bass

ANDROGYNOUS MIND

bass tab by chris lawrence

i won't attempt to sort out the various pauses or denote
any rhythm. shouldn't be too hard to decipher. when you see
this: 

D-0-0-0-

those notes are heavily distorted.

intro

G---------------------------------12\15-15----------
D--17/14-14----0-0-0-----12/9-9--------------0-0-0--
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

vocals begin.

G-------------------------------12-12\15-15---------
D--17-14-14----0-0-0----12-9------------------0-0-0-
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------

G---------------------------------------------15/12-12-9\12--------
D--12/9-9------17/14-14-14----0-0-0---12\15------------------0-0-0-

verse

G----------12\15-15-12-9----------12-12\15-15-15-15/---------
D--12-9--------------------0-0-0-----------------------0-0-0-
A------------------------------------------------------------

chorus

G----------15/12-12-12---10\12----------12\9-9/12-15-9--------
D--10\12-------------------------0-0-0------------------0-0-0-
A-------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------

G-------------12/15-15-15--------
D--12/9-9-9----------------0-0-0-
A--------------------------------
E--------------------------------

this is during the "hey hey its okay" part. she then starts playing
a riff like:

G-------------------------------------------15\--
D--7-7-7-7-7-7-12-12-12-12-12-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------

she repeats this over and over during the 'screaming wild noise part'.

at this point, i'll turn the rest of the song over to you to interpret on your own. its basically just the open distorted Ds plus a few odd notes here and there. improvise.
