Oleander, "Why I'm Here"
Tabbed by: Todd Cathey [email protected]  05/24/2005


I've written this tab for a 5 string bass,
which is definately preferred in this case;
tuning down won't be necessary and you can
hit the nice low notes. Ifyou're on a 4 string,
play the octave fret on your A string.
I've tabbed out the basic parts, memorize
the order as you play along with the song.
Have fun with it and add your own grooviness.


Notes on my tab:
==== indicates to hold the note (listen to
   song for context)
/   slide up to note

all verses:

G|————————————————————————|——————————————————————————||
D|————————————————————————|——————————————————————————||
A|—————————————————4————6—|—————————————————4————6———||
E|——4—4——4/6===6—4————————|——4—4——4/6===6—4——————————||
B|———————————————————2—4—2|———————————————————2—4—2——||

Tricky timing on the verse line; listen
carefully to get the vampy rhythm down.


pre chorus and guitar solo:

G|————————————————————————————————————|
D|————————————————————————————————————|
A|——————————————————4—4—4—4—6—6—6—6———|
E|——4—4—4—4—7—7—7—7———————————————————|
B|————————————————————————————————————|


chorus:

G|——————————————————————————————————————————————————|
D|——————————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|———————————————————————————————————————4——————————|
E|——————————————————————————————————————————————————|
B|—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—5—7—7—7—7—7—7—7—7—2—2—2—2===5——5—5—|
