"Just" by Radiohead tabbed by John Kavalhuna johnnykav@gmail.com I've seen the bassline for this song butchered all over the internet. Here's my interpretation of it, and in my opinion, the correct one. ***This is definitely not the "easy" version of this song, but it's not exactly the "hard" version either. If you want to play this song casually, you're reading the wrong tab. If you want to learn this song for real, pick up your bass, and lets get started. Now to get the rhythm down, I suggest playing along with the cd (or mp3) a few times. It's too hard (and confusing) to imply rhythm in a guitar tab. (Guitar starts alone for one measure, then the rest of the band starts) Intro: G |----------------------------------| D |--------0-1-1-1---1-0-1-2-3-------| A |--3-3-3----------------------0-1-2| E |----------------------------------| G |----------------------------------| D |--------0-1-1-1---1-0-------------| A |--3-3-3---------------3-----------| E |------------------------3-1----3--| Verse: 'can't get the stink out'...

I know it's a lot to remember, but it's really not that difficult. You just have to remember which parts go where. Feel free to post this somewhere else if you choose to, but please give me the credit for writing it out. It took me a long time to complete. johnnykav@gmail.com Questions/comments apprietiated.
