THE DEAD MILKMEN
Part 3 — Bass

from Metaphysical Graffiti

Yes, I know, it seems weird because I don't even have a bass yet, but
with this little kiddie acoustic guitar, I figured out the bass parts
for this song. Here goes:


Main riff:

G———————————————————————————————————
D———————————————————————————————————
A—1—1—2—2—1—1—2—2—1—1—2—0———0—0—0———
E———————————————————————————————————

Chorus:

G———————————————————————————————————
D—1—1—2—2—1—1—2—2—1—1—2—0———0—0—0———
A———————————————————————————————————
E———————————————————————————————————

(Play main riff again once)

G————————————————————
D————————————————————
A—6——5——4————————————
E—————————4——3——2————

Play the main riff again and use the main riff through the solo

Part after the solo:

G—————————————————|————
D—————————————————|————
A————4——5————4——5—|3———
E—3———————3———————|————

G—————————————————|———————————————
D—————————————————|———5———————————
A————4——5————4——5—|6—————6————4——5
E—3———————3———————|————————3——————

This part is used during the "I saw you naked and you were hiding under
a tree" part, and right when Rod and Joe say Born Free for the second
time, start playing the main riff again and keep playing it for the
rest of the song. For anyone who needs lyrics, they're on this site,
and I think you can figure it out.

That's fairly accurate. The last line is a bit hit or miss, but it's
not toooo bad.

The rest is all the same except for a break in the final chorus
at 1:42, during which you just play the following...

G—————————————————————————————
D—————————————————————————————
A———6—————6—————6—————6——5————
E——————4—————4—————4——————————
  It was called Me and Julio Down By the Crackhouse
  'Cause even Julio Iglesias is me


End on Ab.
