New Found Glory - Dressed To Kill

Standard Tuning - 4 String Bass

I thought this was a cool song, so I made an attempt at it.
It's mostly played on the E and A strings.

() - means hold the note
/  - means slide up
  - means slide down

The Intro goes like this:

E:------------------------77777777---------
A:-44-55-55555555-44444444--------44-55----
D:-----------------------------------------
G:-----------------------------------------

Repeat that twice and after the 2nd time add a "(5)"
on the A string.

Then you'll play this twice:

E:------------------77777777----------
A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000--
D:------------------------------------
G:------------------------------------

After playing that twice, play this twice as well:

E:------------------7777--77----------
A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000--
D:--------------44--------------------
G:------------------------------------

Then, you'll play this:

E:---------77--------77--------77------777--
A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0-
D:------------------------------------------
G:------------------------------------------

Then you go back to the chorus. Play this four times:

E:-------------------77777777------
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55-
D:---------------------------------
G:---------------------------------

On the fourth time, add a "(5)" to the A string
Then play this twice:

E:------------------77777777----------
A:-55555555-44444444--------00000000--
D:------------------------------------
G:------------------------------------

Followed by this played twice:

E:------------------7777--77----------
A:-55555555-4444--44----77--00000000--
D:--------------44--------------------
G:------------------------------------

Then you play this once again:

E:---------77--------77--------77------777--
A:-0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)--44--0(0)-----0-
D:------------------------------------------
G:------------------------------------------

Then the chorus four more times:

E:-------------------77777777------
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55-
D:---------------------------------
G:---------------------------------

Again, you'll add the "(5)" on the A string
Hold that note out into this next part.  The song
will break down and the bass holds some notes. I
spaced the numbers to try to show tempo. Listen to
the cd to get it down.
It goes:

E:----------------(5)-/102--
A:--(4)----(2)--24-----------
D:---------------------------
G:---------------------------

E:---------------------(5)---------------------
A:--22-22222-22-22222-------22-22222-22-22222--
D:---------------------------------------------
G:---------------------------------------------

E:-(5)-/102---------------------
A:------------22-22222-22-22222--
D:-------------------------------
G:-------------------------------

E:-(5)-/102---------------------
A:------------22-22222-22-22222--
D:-------------------------------
G:-------------------------------

E:---------------------
A:--22-22222--2-2-2-2--
D:---------------------
G:---------------------

Then you come near the end with the chorus played
four more times:

E:-------------------77777777------
A:--55555555-44444444--------44-55-
D:---------------------------------
G:---------------------------------

Once again, add and hold the "(5)" on the A string
after the fourth time. Hold it to the next part.
Then you end the song with this:

E:----------------(5)--
A:--(4)----(2)--24-----
D:---------------------
G:---------------------

And that's it.  Hopefully I got it right.  Correct as you see fit
or email me if you need anything.  Good luck.
