PRIMUS - "greet the sacred cow" Tablature
Official PRIMUS Tablature & Sheet Music »
************************
* Greet The Sacred Cow *
************************
By Primus
From the "Antipop" Album
Tabbed By NutButter (Bass Player for 5 Sided Cube)
I found the original version tabbed on the archive to be
wrong (author is not listed on the original version), so
I thought I would correct the problem. I have included a
full tab and not just the corrections. All notes on the E
and A strings are slapped, all notes on the D and G strings
are popped. You'll have to work out the order of the riffs
yourselves but it's not too hard.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
x - muted note
* - natural harmonic

I'm not sure, but you may need to play the funky riffs an

best.

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.
