Heres the bass tab for Vermicide, the projected first single off The Mars Voltas new
Amputechture. Fairly simple, but the timing overall (in the chorus especially) can be a
tricky. A nice bassline, with room for improvisation.

A|—7——————————————————————|

Final Chorus:
G|—————————————————————————|
D|—————————————————————————| Repeat this 3 times
A|—————7—————9——5——————————|

For the final repetition of the chorus, play this (a high end fill added):
G|———————————————————————————12—16—14—12—11—|
D|————————————————————————14————————————————|
A|—————7—————9——5———————————————————————————|

And thats it. I havent figured out the bizzare time signature(s?), but if I do I will
Other than that, this tab is complete.
