STAR 69 (Bass tab) From: silversa@VAX.CS.HSCSYR.EDU (silverstone) Bass does not play for the first refrain of the guitar riff before each verse. Just after that, and before the vocals start, the bass starts playing: Verse: Start with fast slide from high E(12) to G(3) and back up to B(7) on the E string, then: G----------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------- Repeat 2x/verse A------7-7---------2-2-5------7-7--------------- E-7-7--------7-5-5--------7-7-----7-5-5-5--2-3-5 Refrain: G---------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------- A-----9------9------9--5-7-------------9------9------9--5-7 (fast side down) E-7-7----7-7----7-7----------4-5-6-7-7----7-7----7-7------- Repeat 2x/refrain At end of the second refrain hit a loud B (7) on the E string, then mute it when the guitar riff starts again. Play it fast, and like most of the songs on Monster, with a pick. I'm almost positive this is right- I wasn't sure myself until I saw Mike (Mills, of course), play it in concert. The only thing that might be off is the number of times each note is played, but you can work that out for yourself.
