Artist: Stabbing Westward
Song: So Far Away
Album: Stabbing Westward
Tabbed for bass by Vraptor7
( 28/10/01 )
Note: The tab has seen a major overhaul after repeated viewings of
Jim playing it on videos; I've spotted a few mistakes in the first
try and made it slightly easier to play.
Following is the tablature transcribed almost exactly as heard
;). Obviously some notes will need to be played more than once or
held for some counts, depending on how you play. Listen hard to
the song and follow the tab.
1). INTRO/VERSE (x 12) :
G|-------------------------------------------------------
D|-------------------------------------------------------
A|---0---10---0---5---0---3---0---0---5---0---3---5---0--
E|-------------------------------------------------------
2). CHORUS :
|--------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------
|-----------3-----------------------5--------------
|---1---1-------1---1---1---3---3-------3---3---3--
+ (VERSE x 2)
|-----
|-----
|---0-
|----- (hold for eight counts)
3). VERSE (x 12)
4). CHORUS
5). SOLO :
|----------------------------------------------
|---------------5-------7----------------------
|---0---0---7-------0--------------------------
|---------------------------1---1---1---3---0--
|--------------
|-------5------
|---7-------5--
|--------------
(x 2)
|--------------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------5--
|---------------5-----------5---7-------5---7------
|---5---7---8-------7---8-----------8--------------
|------------------------------
|------------------------------
|---5---5---3---5---3---2------
|---------------------------4--
|--------------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------5--
|---------------5-----------5---7-------5---7------
|---5---7---8-------7---8-----------8--------------
|--------------------------
|---7---5-------7---5------
|-----------7-----------7--
|--------------------------
6). CHORUS (x 2)
Which concludes the song.
There! A great song, finally tabbed ;).
I've been quite surprised at the lack of SW tabs available
on the net in comparison with their age and amount of songs, and was
disappointed that no one had done this one before now. Having had the
desire to perform this song I've had a go at tabbing the single
myself.
My being a self taught bassist and still at a very early
stage, there are bound to be places where I am wrong; this is my best
effort, but if you can see anything you disagree with please drop me
a line without delay.
Enjoy,
