Rage Against the Machine - Take the Power Back Tuning is DROP D This is a pretty easy song on the bass. Any note with an S below it is slap bass, all the other notes are just normal fingerpicking. Intro: G----------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------| D--0-0----0-0----0-0----0-0--------------------| G----------------------------------------------| D-----------3------------3---------------------| A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3h5-X-----------------------| D-0-0-----------------------0-0----------------| x4 S S S Pre-Verse. G----------------------------------------------| D-----------3------------3---------------------| A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3h5-X-----------------------| D-0-0------------------------------------------| x3 S S S G----------------------------------------------| D-----------3----------------------------------| A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3-4-5-----------------------| D-0-0------------------------------------------| x1 S S S S S That's really most of the song. The pre-verse is the same as all the verses. Actually, sometimes he does the above thing - that 3 times then that once like that - but sometimes he does the first thing 3 times and then this: G---------------------5-5h7--------------------| D-----------3h5-X-5/7--------------------------| A-----3h5-X------------------------------------| D-0-0------------------------------------------| x1 S S S S S Then the CHORUS goes like this: G----------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------| A----5----3-4-5---------5---3-4-5--------------| D--0----0-------------0---0----------12--------| Do that over and over again, that's the whole chorus. That's most of the song. Tabbed by Mixolydian
