Bass tab for "John Wayne was a Nazi" by MDC
from "Millions of Dead Cops"
intro
G---------------
D-7-7__75-------
A--------7575---
E------------75-
riff 1
G-----------------------
D---7----5----3-----35_-
A-----------------------
E-55--533--311--133-----
riff 2
G------------------
D------------------
A------------------
E-5555333311113333-
after the intro riff 1 is played 16 times and
then riff 2 is played until near the and of the
song when there's a rest for one bar and then
riff 2 again 4 more times, listen to the record,
it's not difficult. Having said that riff 1 IS
difficult,
I can't play it without some of the strings
ringing,
mainly the E and A strings. I can damp down A by
putting
my little finger on it but E still rings. Any
suggestions?
I'm not sure about the intro, he plays it too
fast for
me to hear, but that sounds about right. (-5___-)
means sustain 5.
Thanks, Nick

| This song was written after the death of john wayne because everyone was mourning someone who, in all truth, wasn't really that great and had some fascist views. And what better way to tell america to get the fuck over it than calling him a nazi? This was done very creatively, definitely MDC at their best. Especially the sweet bassline at the beginning. | |
