Title: Wishing Artist: Hale Album: Hale Transcribed by: Dave Mac E-mail: satchboogie314@yahoo.com Ok. . . first i'll explain my opinion about playing the bass of this song. i think he uses a 5-stringed bass guitar with BEADG (low to high) tuning. since most of us don't have a 5-stringed bass guitar i tabbed the bass with a 4-stringed bass guitar with drop-d tuning DADG (low to high). at the refrain part. . there he plays the lowest note of the song, c-note at the 1st fret of the B-string (if you have a 5-stringed bass guitar) at the 2nd bar of the tablature. Tama pala. . Ung sa verse, meron syang natural harmonic sa 2.25 n fret!! ang tunog nyan is 2 octaves higher than sa natural harmonic sa 12 fret. same note lng sila. palagay natin bass guitar ito.

The LEFT hand fingers just "tap/hammer-on from nowhere" the bass line & the RIGHT hand fingers, mainly the index & middle, tap the simple melody. Play first that open low D note and then immediately tap all the notes after that open low D. RIGHT index finger tap = e.g. RIGHT middle finger tap = {fret} e.g. (19) Bridge: D G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|------(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)-----| A|-----------------------------------| D|-0-----------------------------------------------------7-------| Bm G|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)----(19)-----| A|----------------------------------| D|--9-------------------------------------------------------11------| A G|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-(19)----(21)----(19)----(21)----(19)----(21)----(19)----(21)-----| A|----------------------------------| D|--7-------------------------------------------------------9-------| G F E G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-(19)----(21)----(19)----(21)------------------| A|-------------------------------| D|--5--------------------------------3-3-3-3-2-2-| Guitar Solo: D Bm G|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-/7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-| A G F E G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---3-3-3-3-2-2-| D Bm G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-| A G G|-------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------| D|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| Outro: F E F E F E G|------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------| D|-15-15-15-15-14-14/2---3-3-3-3-2-2//14---15-15-15-15-14-14\-| D G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| D|-0--------------------------------------------------|
