Rage Against the Machine - Take the Power Back

Tuning is DROP D

This is a pretty easy song on the bass.

Any note with an S below it is slap bass, all the
other notes are just normal fingerpicking.

Intro:
G----------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------|
D--0-0----0-0----0-0----0-0--------------------|

G----------------------------------------------|
D-----------3------------3---------------------|
A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3h5-X-----------------------|
D-0-0-----------------------0-0----------------| x4
      S     S      S

Pre-Verse.
G----------------------------------------------|
D-----------3------------3---------------------|
A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3h5-X-----------------------|
D-0-0------------------------------------------| x3
      S     S      S

G----------------------------------------------|
D-----------3----------------------------------|
A-----3h5-X---h5-X-3-4-5-----------------------|
D-0-0------------------------------------------| x1
      S     S      S S S


That's really most of the song.  The pre-verse is
the same as all the verses.  Actually, sometimes
he does the above thing - that 3 times then that once
like that - but sometimes he does the first thing 3
times and then this:
G---------------------5-5h7--------------------|
D-----------3h5-X-5/7--------------------------|
A-----3h5-X------------------------------------|
D-0-0------------------------------------------| x1
      S     S     S   S S


Then the CHORUS goes like this:
G----------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------|
A----5----3-4-5---------5---3-4-5--------------|
D--0----0-------------0---0----------12--------|
Do that over and over again, that's the whole chorus.

That's most of the song.
