Someday Bass

(ver. 1)
Strokes

Willie D included the bass riff in his tab for "Someday." Thanks, Willie.  And I
will put up the right tab for the bassline of this song.  It's sickeningly easy,

Willie D noted that ...

 The main bass riff goes: 
 
 ---------------------------
 ---------------------------
 --0-0---2-2---5-5--0-0-----
 ---------------------------

But it's played on two strings, not one. I think you have to be a bass player to
notice the difference in intonation . . . so try the following . . .

Intro/verse:

------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------ 
------------------5-5--------------- 
--5-5-----7-7-------------5-5------- 

repeated over and over ad infinitum ... or at least until the chorus . . .

Chorus:
--------------------------4-4-2-2----------------------------------
----------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------
--5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-- 

repeated until . . . . . .

---------------------------
---------------------------
--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--
---------------------------

. . . . until your fingers fall off.

repeat the verse riff, and then play the chorus again. just remember that this
time around, we end the song with a phat . . .
