Song: My World Down Band: The Dying Breed (aka: Meister) Source: BECK - Mongolian Chop Squad OST Tuning: Standard (GDAE) Yime: 4/4 Tabber: Soundscrape (anesaru_blue@yahoo.com) Notes: This song is from the Japanese anime series "BECK"; it is the first of two ending theme songs and the signature tune of the fictional American band - The Dying Breed - that appears in the anime. In actuality, it was composed by a Japanese rock band called "Meister". If this song is any indication of the quality of their work, you now have a reason to import their albums (or "sample them" via P2P). Anyway, this is a pretty simple song. Even a total beginner can learn to play it in about an hour or so of study. ------------------ 0:05 > 0:11 Intro (Pt.1) G|--------------| D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--3--3--3--1--| Intro (Pt.2) / Mini-Chorus G|-------------------------| x3 D|-------------------------| A|-------------------------| E|--3--3--1----3--3--3--1--| Intro (Pt.3) G|-----------| D|-----------| A|-----------| E|--3--3--1--| 0:12 > 0:26 The verse is essentially composed of two parts.

I prefer playing it on the D-string since it doesn't come with any fret buzz. Yes, my bass is a piece of sh*t. >=D Bridge G|--------------| x4 D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--6--6--6--6--| G|--------------| x2 D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--8--8--8--8--| G|--------------| x2 <-- EITHER --> G|------------------| x2 D|--3--3--3--3--| IS D|------------------| A|--------------| FINE A|------------------| E|--------------| E|--13--13--13--13--| 1:17 > 1:30 Intro (Pt.1) G|--------------| D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--3--3--3--1--| Intro (Pt.2) / Mini-Chorus G|-------------------------| x7 D|-------------------------| A|-------------------------| E|--3--3--1----3--3--3--1--| 1:31 > 1:44 Verse (Pt.1) G|--------------| x4 D|--------------| A|--------------| E|--3--3--3--3--| Verse (Pt.2) G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| E|--3--3--3--1--1--8--8--3--| 1:45 > 1:52 End-verse Buildup / Pre-Bridge G|-------------------------| x2 D|-------------------------| A|-------------------------| E|--5--5--5--3----5--5--3--| G|------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|--6--6--6--4----6--6--6----8--8--8--8--8--8--8--| E|------------------------------------------------| 1:53 > End Let the last note ring so that it fades out in tandem with the guitar.

I'm sure this is 99.99% correct, but corrections are more than welcome. Just drop me an email or whatever. As for the Beck anime, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's available via fansub at the moment, so get it while you can. This is one series that virtually guaranteed to be licensed for North American release. But when it does get licensed, I'll be the first in line to buy the DVDs. >=D Adios! - Soundscrape (anesaru_blue@yahoo.com)
