Santa Fe Bass

(ver. 1)
Rent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Tuning: standard (EADGBe)

K. So, I'll give a little prelude to the song. the other version of this isn't even for
This is a bass song, but I'll give you the bass riff and the guitar chords to go along
it :)
Cause this is like my fave song ever :)

K. Bass riff: It's pretty constant throughout the whole song.
Verse:
G|-----------8------------6--------------11---------------|

A|---------9---9--------9--------------12--12--12--12-----|
E|--7----7-------7----7--------10---10------------------7-|

Aiight? It's hell, I know. But thats what goes on while angel and collins are talking. 
I'll give you the chords for guitar now.

B                        D
New York City! (uh huh.) Centre of the universe. (sing it, girl)
B                         D
Times are sh*tty, but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse. (I hear ya.)
B                                  D
It's a comfort to know, when you're singing the "Hit the Road Blues"
     B                                         D              N/C
That anywhere else you could possibly go after New York would be:
N/C
A Pleasure cruise.

B                              D
Now you're Talkin'. (collins's trademark evil laugh, lol muahaha)
         B                        D
Well I'm thwarted by a metaphysic puzzle
        B                              D
And I'm sick of gradin' papers, that I know.
    B                             D
I'm shouting in my sleep I need a muzzle
    B                              D
And all this misery pays no salary so

Alright. Now that I got the verse covered, I can honestly say the the bass riff in the
is REALLY hard to hear. So I just play it in easy notes and wing it through the way I
it goes. So its wrong, meh, this isn't supposed to be a score or something. :P

When my students would rather watch T.V.? America. (America)

You're a sensitive aesthete, Brush the sauce onto the meat

You can make the menu sparkle with a rhyme

You can drum a gentle drum, I can seat guests as they come
