/ My Vitriol / Fine Lines (2001) / Moodswings bass tab

OH YES! The Almighty BassMonkee is back with another My Vitriol Tab!

Track 1:
Album - Moodswings/The Gentle Art Of Choking Single
Bassist - Carolyn Bannister.

This is the full length version - as seen on the video I think. The real version is on the double album Finelines/Between The Lines - but I reckon it’s the same notes.
It took me ages to get the tuning right.
Tune the A, D and G string down a semi tone so that:
A = G# or A flat
D = C# or D flat
G = F# or G flat
Then tune the E string down a tone to D then another semi tone:
D = C# or D flat.
In other words tune all strings down a semi tone, then tune the top string down a whole tone.
And now - THE SONG!

INTRO 2x:
F#|------------------------------------------------------------------|
C#|------------------------------------------------------------------|
G#|-5555555555555555555555555555555577777777--------77777777---------|
C#|-----------------------------------------77777777--------77777777-|

Guitar plays the HOOK twice then:

Hook 4x:			Variations 1.         Variation 2.
F#|------------------|	|------------------|  |------------------|
C#|------------------|	|-----44----4------|  |------------------|
G#|------------------|	|------------------|  |------------------|
C#|-0-0-x-00-00-0-2b-|	|-0-0----00---0-2b-|  |-0-0-x-00-00-0-23-|

(the variations are just things I made up, they aren’t played in the real song, but the variations are cool to play too)

VERSE:
F#|------------------------------------------------------------------|
C#|------------------------------------------------------------------|
G#|------------------------------------------------------------------|
C#|-0000000000000000000000000000000044444444777777774444444477777777-|

C#|-33-33-33-33-99-99-99-99-33-33-33-33-99-99\\2~-|

Then the first part of the VERSE then the whole VERSE.

C#|-33-33-33-33-99-99-99-99-33-33-33-33-99-99-----------|

(the second time through, she may be playing the octaves, but because of the effects used I can’t hear whether it’s the guitar or the bass)

BRIDGE:
F#|------------------------------------------------------------------|

G#|-22222222222222225555555555555555---------------------------------|

Then rest then play the HOOK 12x.

End on

F#|-----|

And that’s it, all of you who tab it as drop D, I think you’re wrong!
