Bass Guitar Tablature Explanation
Each dash / symbol in the tablature represents a 16th note, so in a 4/4 bar there are 16
dashes,
2/4 there are 8, etc. Where the tablature for one note needed more than just one symbol
for a note (e.g., where the note played is on fret 10 or above, gaps have been placed in
the
surrounding dashes in order that the note's length isn't confused, and that there
isn't a
problem raised over "Is it a 'Ten' or 'One' then a 'Zero".There was also a problem over
hammer-on's,
etc between 16th notes, and so gaps have been left in the surrounding dashes in these
cases.
Hope you understand all this, once you get the hang of it, it should be really easy!!

| people, people, this song is clearly about people that live in misery for most of there days that find it hard to think clearly, you wouldin't know about it unless you were brought up in that way, it's about people who rarely speak and always look glum you wont know about it unless you have it thats why i relate so much to the song | |

| I think the Manics had always been very Political orientated, perhaps .. I don't know. But this song's beautiful, anyway .. "The Everlasting." like two people - and their love .. it's EVERLASTING. | |

| I think LBN is pretty much spot on with this. I don't know why so many people dislike this song, or indeed the rest of the album. | |
