Ok, this is written for a five-string bass in standard tuning (BEADG)
I'm pretty sure Kyuss used a 4-stringer tuned to C on this one but it's
easy enough to swap it over.
This is another Kyuss song that's been a gaggin' for a tabbin' so here is.
Intro riff:
. . .
-|-------------------12--|-
-|.---------------12----.|-
-|.----3-/-10-10--------.|-
-|--3--------------------|-
-|-----------------------|-
Notes with dots above them are really short, you'll see what I mean when
you play it.
Other/Verse riff:
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-----------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.---------------------------------0---------------0---------------|-
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---1-1-1-1-1-1-1---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-
Towards the end of the song they just play the same thing but holding the
D# and D instead of playing lots of them. Finsh by playing C loads of times
over and that's it.
Alternative way of playing the verse
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-----------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-

Right, on the 1st one it's easier not to play A open but to just play B before
the C. This isn't quite right but sounds fine if you play it like that.
Alternatively tune the B down to an A, I'm just too lazy to bother detuning!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KYUSS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
