Violent Femmes — Waiting For The Bus bass tabs



Song Title: Waiting for the Bus
Artist: Violent Femmes
——————————————————————————————————————————————

ok, this is my 1st bass tab. this song has a good bass part, but i haven't found any postings
for it, so i decided to figure it out myself. i'm pretty sure about most of this. it's a
pretty easy song, and it's a bit repetitive. listen to the song for the timing.

Part 1:
—0———0—————————————————— ]
—————————0—2h4—2———————— ] repeat 6 times
———————————————————————— ]
———————————————————————— ]

Part 2 walkdown:
—0———————
———3h2———
—————————
—————————

Part 2:
this part comes after "standing by the corner, waiting for the bus.."

* Part 3 walkdown:
"my precious time keeps slipping past.."

Part 3:

* another Part 1 walkdown:
"the damn city bus moves so slow"
——————————————————————————0———————————

do Part 1 again
then do Part 3 walkdown
then there's a part with just drums & talking..

Part 4 walkdown:
after "will you please open up the back door?"
