OH YES! The Almighty BassMonkee is back with another My Vitriol Tab!

Track 1:
Album - Moodswings/The Gentle Art Of Choking Single
Bassist - Carolyn Bannister.

This is the full length version - as seen on the video I think.
The real version is on the double album Finelines/Between The Lines -
but I reckon it’s the same notes. It took me ages to get the tuning right.
Tune the A, D and G string down a semi tone so that:
A = G# or A flat, D = C# or D flat, G = F# or G flat
Then tune the E string down a tone to D then another semi tone:
D = C# or D flat.
In other words tune all strings down a semi tone,
then tune the top string down a whole tone.
And now - THE SONG!

INTRO 2x:
F#|------------------------------------------------------------------|

C#|-----------------------------------------77777777--------77777777-|

Guitar plays the HOOK twice then:

(the variations are just things I made up,
they aren’t played in the real song,
but the variations are cool to play too)

(the second time through, she may be playing the octaves,
but because of the effects used I can’t hear whether it’s the guitar or the bass)
