------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PARTY AT GROUND ZERO - Fishbone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: James Email: kamapuaa@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Ok, after working on this for a while, I can see why there aren't many Fishbone tabs. I've tried here to outline the major sections of the song, most of the non-solo riffs, and some of the general structure, but some of the timing and changes are a little tricky. Opening Riff: ------10-12-10-----------------------------------------| ---------------12-12-12-10-12-13-12-12-10-12-----------| ---------------------------------------------12-11-7-9-| -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| The ska chopping for the intro goes back and forth from Am to G. So, Intro riff, Am-G, Intro riff again, Am-G chopping then: (3x) ----------------------------------| ----------------------------------| ----------------------------------| -9-9-9-10-10-10-12-12-12-10-10-10-| -7-7-7-8--8--8--10-10-10-8--8--8--| ----------------------------------| -------| -------| -------| -9-7-9-| -7-5-7-| -------| Next, hang on Am, then Am-G# and into the main chopping riff, which is I-IV-V in G#: G#-C#-D#. Party at ground zero A B-movie starring you And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew The next change in the guitar part is when he follows the vocal line: Please do not fear, cause Fishbone is here to say (say what?) -------------------------| -------------------------| -------------------------| ---6-3-----3-6-3-------3-| -------6---------6---6---| ---------4---------4-----| Just have a good time, the bad time is far away... -------------------------------------| -------------------------------------| -------------------------------------| ---3-6-3-----3-6-3-------3-3-4-3-4-3-| ---------6---------6---6-------------| -----------4---------4---------------| The toilet has flushed, and green lights are ghosts -----------------------| -----------------------| -----------------------| ---3-6-3-----3-6-3-----| ---------6---------6---| -----------4---------4-| and drop-drills will be extinct -----------------| -----------------| -----------------| ---3-6-3-------3-| ---------6---6---| -----------4-----| speedracer cloud has come, they know not what they done ---------------------------| ---------------------------| ---------------------------| ---3-4-4-4-3---------------| -------------6-5-6-6-6-5-3-| sin has just won, planet Earth is a... ---------------------| ---------------------| ---------------------| ---------------------| -1-1-----------------| -----3-1-1-1-1-3-1---| Hang on G# for the first turn around then it's the main riff again, I-IV-V in G#.
