SKIP TRACER

bass tab by chris lawrence

when bass first enters:

G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-
A---------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

play that 5 times... then:

G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-
A--17-12-10-10-10--12-10-10-10-10------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

repeat that many times...

the 2nd time before the song changes, she plays:

G------------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------17-17-17-17-17-
A--17-12-10-10-10--12-10-10-10-10--17-17-17-17-17-17-17------------etc-

A--------------------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-

repeat that, maybe w/ some octave variations. then the bass drops
out, and returns for the "hello 2015" part:

G---------------------------------------

I always find Lee as more of a poetry reader as opposed to a singer. If that makes any sense. I agree with Jess55, I can see everything that he's talking about, it's a fantastic song.

I really like the change of pace that Lee's songs bring to the band. I dig that beat poet thing he's got going on...Pipeline/Kill Time is a fucking masterpiece, but Hey Joni is kinda lame...This is one of my favorite SY songs.

Actually I'd like to withdraw that statement. I do tend to like his songs less than the others, but I came off sounding awfully ignorant. He's clearly a very intelligent and talented man. I just find his vocals annoying!

I seriously cannot stand most of Lee's songs. This is no exception. I don't know, he's just such a dork, vocally. Amazing guitarist of course! But yeah. Keep the mic away from him thx.
