Hyper Ballad Bass

(ver. 2)
Bjork
    _________________
   / Björk          /  I think this song is about this very self-destructive
  / Hyper-Ballad   /  girl who has to deal with lots of problems in her life.
 / Post           /  She plays with the thought of committing suicide, and the
/________________/  only thing that keeps her safe (from herself) is her boy
                   friend, quite sad, but it always me in a calm, happy mood.
                   
To play this 100% you need a 5-stringed bass or to tune you E-string down to 'C'
to reach the these low notes, you can also just play the notes an octave above,
which I've indicated in the brackets. The point with the bass is to play this
resonant, drowning sound, so play the notes on a low string as possible.
