Bass Tablature
by Matt Rosenfeld
Notes: This is in 4/4 time and the strings are all tuned down a 1/2 step. The first 22
measures of the song do not have any bass in it. This tab begins after these
22 measures after Bret Michaels says "Stand For What You Believe". Each - means
the time of a sixteenth note. Hold all notes out until another one is played or
you see a rest (R).
SD = Slide Down
R = Rest

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 POISON 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.
