----------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Sadie Hawkins Dance Band: Relient K Album: The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert Email: tmacman001@yahoo.com Tuning: Standard Note: Sweet song on the bass, the song is actually carried quite a bit with it, even getting a cool little solo. It's always best to listen to the CD to get the rhythms down right, so if you've got it, use it. Intro 1: Played during the clean intro. It's an octave up from the regular bass riff. Listen closely for the rhythm, the notes happen on beat one. Bb F G Eb G|--3~-------8~--| D|-----3~-5~-----| 3X A|---------------| E|---------------| Intro 2: (0:17) Hard and loud, the main riff. Listen for rhythm. Bb F G Eb G|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| 2X A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6--| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------| On this third time thru the riff, don't play the last Eb. Bb F G G|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| A|--1-1-1-1-----------------------------| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------| Fourth time, muted Eb at end. Bb F G Eb G|----------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------| A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-------------------| * * * * * * * * Verse 1: (0:41) Guitars play palm-muted eighth notes, bass plays open quarter notes to go with them. Bb F G Eb G|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| 2X A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6--| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------| Chorus: (0:52) Short, punctuated quarter notes. Play the last Eb normal. Bb F G Eb Bb F G Eb G|--------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6--| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3--------------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------| Verse 2: (1:04) Same as Verse 1, main riff with open quarter notes. Chorus: (1:15) Same as first chorus. At (1:26) there's a part before the little guitar solo. Play the first line of Intro 2 (the main riff) once. Guitar Solo: (1:32) Bridge: (1:38) Listen to the rhythm on the CD. Bb F G Eb Bb F G Eb G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| 2X A|--1~-1---------6-6-6-6-1-1-1-1---------------6-6-6-6--| E|------1~-1-3~-3---------------1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3---------| (2:02) Play this progression in non-muted eighth notes. Bb F G Eb G|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| 2X A|--1-1-1-1--------------------6-6-6-6--| E|-----------1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-----------| Bass Solo: (2:14) Listen for rhythm. G F Eb Bb F G F Eb F G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|----------6-6-1-1-----------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-8-8-8-8-8-8--| E|--3-3-1-1---------1-3-3-1-1------------------------------| There are more than just two hits on these first chords, like I said, listen to the CD for the rhythm, these are just the notes. Chorus: at (2:26) and (2:37), like every other chorus: short, quick hits until last Eb. During the clean ending to the very last chorus play these notes at the same time as the guitar. G|---------| D|---------| A|--6~-----| E|-----6~--| Well, that's it. Remember, my tab for guitars fits right in with this bass tab. I hope you like it, rate it, and duplicate it. RELIENT K ROCKS! I'm glad they're finally making it big, touring with Good Charlotte and Simple Plan and getting on Now 19. I just hope they keep their heads on straight and don't forget their roots. Thanks again. God Bless. | * palm muted p pull-off | / slide up ~ vibrato | \ slide down + harmonic | h hammer-on x Mute string =======================================================================
