Peer bass tab by Chevelle

Album: Point #1
Instrument: 5-string electric bass, tuning (GDAEB)
Tabbed by (lomans@bellsouth.net)

I heard this song the other day and really liked it. The opening bass line is more melodic
when compared to most of Chevelle’s stuff. I searched online for the tab and couldn’t find
it so here it goes. This line is correct (for the most part); I figured it out with my
electric without an amp, so I think most of the notes are sound. Also you can drop-D a
four stringer to play this just move the fingering up the neck on the E-string. E-mail
with any corrections. Enjoy…

*Key:  h- hammer-on
