Basstab by Gustavo02


I always liked portished, so when i saw the request I decided to do it. 
Actually the bass only comes in 2:40 on part 3. But in case you want to play the others
parts on bass, i wrote it:


INTRO:

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|--------2---------------| |------------------------| 
A|----2-------3-----------| |------------------------|
E|0-----------------------| |------------------------|


PART 1:
( 0:11 the voice enters)

G|--------0-----------0---|  
D|----2-----------2-------| 
A|2-----------3-----------|  19x
E|------------------------| 

OR you can do one octave above, i think it fits more:

G|--------12----------12--|  
D|----14----------14------| 
A|14----------15----------| 19x
E|------------------------| 


PART 2:
still there is no bass here either, but the notes are:
01:12

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|------------------------| |------------------------|
E|0-----------------------| |0-----------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|------------------------| |------------------------|
E|0-----------------------| |3-----------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|------------------------| |------------------------|
E|3-----------------------| |3-----------------------|

just keep altenating between these 2 notes, following the voice 
(there is no other thing to follow anyways...)


PART 3:
02:31  (some keyboard comes in, alone, the bass will enters at 02:41 only)

                                               drums here
G|------------------------| |--------------------99--|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|------------------------| |------------------------|
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|7---7---5---7---7---7---| |7---7---7---5---5---8---|
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|7---7---7---7---7---7---| |7---7---7---5---5---8---|
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|7---7---5---7---7---7---| |7---7---7---5---5---8---|
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

G|------------------------| |------------------------|  
D|------------------------| |------------------------| 
A|7---7---7---7---7---7---| |7---7---7---5---5---8---|
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

keep doing this until 03:56, then there is some variations on bass:


G|--------97----------97--| |--------97--------------|  
D|----------97----------97| |----------97------------| 
A|7---7-------7---7-------| |7---7-------5---5--58---| <-4x
E|------------------------| |------------------------|

PART 2 again

PART 4:
(at 05:48)

G|------------------------| |--------------------|  
D|------------------------| |--------------------| 
A|7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7---| |7-7-7-7-7---5---5---| <-4x
E|------------------------| |--------------------|

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

G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|   
A|5---5---5---5---5---5---| <-7x
E|------------------------| 

G|------------------------|  
D|------------------------| 
A|5-----------------------| 
E|------------------------| 

(break)

at 06:30 it comes back:

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

this reapeats until the end.

good luck
