I can't believe that nobody had tabbed this before,it is
so easy.
RIFF 1:
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------| Played through most of song.
A|--77--8---777--8---|
E|-------------------|
RIFF 2:
G|-------------------|
D|--77--8---777--8---| Played during choruses,
A|-------------------| "And is there space for every"/
E|-------------------| "Is it daddys little boys and
girls"
RIFF 3:
G|----------------|
D|----------------| This is played once, you'll recognise it
A|--77--8--8/(0)--| when you hear it.
E|----------------|
There a couple of pauses in there but it's easy to follow along.
Just listen to the song for timing and it won't take long
for you to get into the flow of it.
THAT'S IT!!!
If you can, try to work out some Shihad bass tabs for
yourself and publish them on the net (because there aren't many).
I'm currently working on 'My Mind's Sedate' and 'The General Electric'.
They're also a great live band, so go see them if you can.

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

A|---------3-------|
E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
