Queens of the Stone Age - The Mosquito Song Songs for the Deaf Tabbed by panchoG This song doesn?t have a bassline. However, it?s unbridled coolness compelled me to make one for it. Verses 1 and 2 and Bridges 2 and 3 are interchangeable whenever the mood strikes you to spice it up. In fact, any of this is interchaneable since there?s no correct way to play a nonexistent line; feel free to add your own spin or whatever. If you think of something really cool let me know and I?ll probably add it to the tab.
