Brian Eno - Deep Blue Day Bass Tab


Tabbed by Richard Jones 


This song was made famous by the notorious Trainspotting toilet 
scene.  Not a particularly hard one to tab.  All of five minutes of 
concentrated listening.  Such a picturesque song and easy to play.  
The timing is very simple, you'll get it instantly.  I sincerely doubt 
that this is wrong, if it is, my mail address is up the top there.


Standard EADG tuning.


There are three key parts:


NO. 1              Order of Play
G--------------------------        1 x No. 1 
D--------------------------        3 x No. 2
A-----9-----9-----9-----9--        1 x No. 3 
E--7-----7-----7-----7-----        1 x No. 2
                
NO. 2
G--------------------------     I suspect that there is an   
D--------------------------     extra E12 (E) note in 
A-----14----14----14----14-     the movement from 3 to 2.  
E--12----12----12----12----     You will only hear this with     
              headphones on, it is very 
NO. 3             minute.
G--------------------------
D--------------------------
A-----7-----7-----7-----7--
E--5-----5-----5-----5-----



Repeat this to till the song fades out. Note that in the initial 
playing of this the very first two notes of No. 1 are extremely hard to 
hear as the song starts with a fade in. Either play three or be very 
gentle.


If anyone has ever had a pop at ambient electronic stuff such as Aphex 
Twin's Selected Ambient works drop me a line, I know that its electronic 
bass but its catchy.. and it'd be nice to play along.
