Bass Tab: Artist: Marilyn Manson Album: Mechanical Animals Track: 6 - Speed of Pain Tab By: Paul Simpson (paul_the_bass_guy@hotmail.com) Key: / = slide up \ = slide down h = hammer on This song has many variations so I'll only write the most frequently occuring ones. i'm lazy so I only write the A and E strings if the D and G strings aren't in use. This song doesn't really have a definite chorus or verse or bridge or anything like that so I'll just write the lyrics instead so you don't loose your place. Alrighty: A--------------------------------------------12h14 E---------5-----------5\-----0-0----0-0-0--14----- 1 2 3 4 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 e + A---------0-----------------------------------12h14 E---------------------5\-----0-0----0-0-0--14----- 1 2 3 4 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 e + A-0-------------------------------- E-------------5/--8-----------8\-- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + A--------------------------------------------------- E-----5---------------3-------2---3---0-------------- (fading) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (no bass for this bit, as you probably know already) Now Play the Verse Above Again but whole notes are broken up into half notes and quarter notes. (you'll get the feel of it after a while) A-----------------------12h14|-----------------------------12h14 E-0---0----0-0----0---0------|0---8-----8---8-----8-8-----8------ 1 2 3 4 e |1 2 3 4 e Repeat this riff over a few times, then D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E-3-----------3/--11---------11\--8-----------8/--10------------- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + D---------------------------13-10--------------------------------- A--------------------------------13-10---------------------------- E-3-----------3/--11------------------11-8-----8/--10------------- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 e + a 1+2+3+4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + A-------------------------------------------------8-10-8----8-10-8- E-4---------------2---------------1-----------1/---------10-------10 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + A-------------------------------------------------8-10-8----8-10-8- E-4---------------2---------------1-----------1/---------10-------10 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Then play the "Lie with me....." Riff again twice and then the "Keep all your secrets" riff again a few times until the end of the song. Alright, that's it, have fun.
