Artist: Primus

Tabbed By: Mike Bottiggi

The old tab for this song (by Nathan Welton) was partially right, but the
verse wasn't included, and a few notes were missing. This is my intepretation
of the song, I think it is pretty close to 100% accurate. I have only been
playing Bass for about half a year, so I could be off. There are different
ways you can play it, but this is how I do it, and it sounds decent.
The parenthesis indicates variations that may (or may not) be played.
G |-----------------------------------------------------|
D |-----------------------------------------------------|
A |--(2)3-----3--(x)3-----3--(0h3-----3--(0)3-----3-----|
E |--------3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--|
It's easiest to use 3 fingers on this part, I'm willing to bet that Les does
too.

D |------------10--------10-----------10----------------|
A |-------7-10--------------10-----------10-5-5-7(p)5---|

Sorry, messed this part up the first time, these are the correct notes:
G |--------------9999-7------------9-7-5-5---------------|
D |-----------10--------10----(10)---------7-5-5---------|
A |------7-10--------------10--------------------7-5-----|
E |-(7)8--------------------------------------------(7)8-|

A |----3-----3-----3-----3--------3-----3--5--5--3--------3--------5-----|
E |-3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----------------------2-----------------3--|
There are a few variations Les does, you can probably figure them out. They
are usually before he hits the C note (3 on A). Here is the outro, in which
he does a slight variation: (variations are in parentheses)
(Les yeehaa's)

This one is played on a banjo bass, but of course it sounds fine on an
electric. It should be real easy to piece the parts of the song together if
you want to play it all the way through. It's also a good song for
practicing vocals while playing, especially if you haven't been playing long
(like me).
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 PRIMUS 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.
