MATTHEW GOOD BAND - "hello time bomb" Tablature

Hello Time Bomb
by Matthew Good Band
Bass tab
Standard tuning
The rhythm is very easy but difficult to time with the drums so listen in
with the song
I'm not sure if the bassist from MGB plays like this but I use a pick when
the guitar doesn't have the flanger pedal on and strum when it does to add
to the effect-if you'd like to do this then you can hear when the guitar
does the non-flanged sound-this happens in:
All choruses
Guitar (or really pedal!) solo
The last ending riff
After lines:
Verse 2: "We'll see if I'm kidding..."
Verse 2: "Did it on Ridlin..."
Verse 2: "I got me some good grades..."
Verse 3: "We'll see if I'm emperor..." (this has a bit of a bridge part in
it-see the end of the tab)
Verse 3: "The Devil's own sugar smacks..."
Verse 3: "Down at the 'Radio Shack'..." (again a bit of a funky bridge)
This is the main riff you hear so often:
G: --------------------------------------------
D: --------------------------------------------
A: ---2-2--4-4---4--------------------------
E: --------------------------4--4--0--0---0-
The pre-chorus:
G: --------------------------------------------
D: --------------------------------------------
A: --------------------------------------------
E: ----4--4---0--0--0---0---0--0---0---0-
G: ---------------------------------------------
D: ---------------------------------------------
A: -----------------------------------2--2---2
E: -0--0--0---0---0---0---0---0-------------
G: ---------------------------------------------
D: ---------------------------------------------
A: -2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2
E: ---------------------------------------------
The chorus: (The "Hello time bomb..." part and the initial chorus are the
same bass and guitar parts)
G: ---------------------------------------------
D: ---------------------------------------------
A: -----4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--------------
E: -----------------------------------5--5--5-
G: ---------------------------------------------
D: ---------------------------------------------
A: ---------------------------------------------
E: -5--5--5--5--5---0--0---0--0--0--0---0-
G: --------------------------------------------
D: --------------------------------------------
A: -------2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2----
E: --0-----------------------------------------
This pattern is repeated twice for the initial chorus and then twice again
for the "Hello time bomb" section)
During guitar solo play:
G: -----------------------------------------
D: -----------------------------------------
A: ---4-4----------------------------------
E: ---------5---4----0---2---2---2-------
After "We'll see if I'm emperor..."
G: ----------------------------------------
D: ----------------------------------------
A: ----------------------------------------
E: -------4--4--0--0--0-----------------
G: ----------------------------------------
D: ----------------------------------------
A: --------2----------2--2---4--4--4----
E: --0-------------------------------------
After "The Devil's own sugar smacks..."
G: -----------------------------------------
D: -----------------------------------------
A: -----------------------------------------
E: ------4--4--5--5--5---------5---2----
G: -----------------------------------------
D: -----------------------------------------
A: -----------------2---2---4----4---4---
E: -----------------------------------------
And then after the end chorus they play the chorus riff twice more then goes
once again:
G: -----------------------------------------
D: -----------------------------------------
A: -----------------------------------------
E: ---------4--4----0--0---0-------------
That's it, it's quite simple to play

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 MATTHEW GOOD BAND 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.
