                           THE SPY IN THE CAB - BAUHAUS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Myself

Tuning: Standard

The bass part for The Spy in the Cab. This may work better on a fretless bass
(I only have a fretted one and it's tough making the high note pop correctly).
Best to play this without a pick. See the alternative method for a different
way to play this that may work better. Otherwise, possibly the easiest Bauhaus
song on bass guitar.


INTRO

G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------|
E|---45-(LET RING)---|

MOST OF THE SONG (just keep repeating)
G|---21---|
D|--------| (yes, that is fret 21 on G, not 2 then 1)
A|--------|
E|--------|

SMALL FILL (occurs at about 1:52 into the song)
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|---7----5----3----2---| Let these ring a bit
E|----------------------|

Then back to your new favorite note until the song ends...
G|---21---|
D|--------|
A|--------|
E|--------|


ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

Alternatively, David J might just use G# tuning instead of regular G, switching
to fret 20 for the repeated high note. It's hard to know for sure which he
actually does (not many live videos of this song and since he plays fretless,
it all looks about the same when you get that high up). Go with whichever
option you prefer, though this method produces the better (i.e. closer to
recorded) sound.
