U2 - Salome Bass Tab

From ejkmg365@aol.com
or
eajensen@saunet.sau.edu


Main Bass Line throughout Song

A I--------------------3^--0-3-5-I
E I-55--355-3555--------------I

3^ means bend the note up to the 4th fret, that sounds the best to me.

Chorus

A I-------------------3^-0-3-5--I-55-355-0-3-55-3-55--I
E I-55-355-3555--------------I----------------------------3I

A I--------------------3^-0-3-5-I------------------55-0-3-5-I
E I55-3-55-3-555-------------I-33--3-33--3--------------I

Then back to main bass line. This is basically the whole song except for
the breakdown after the second chorus. The chords to that breakdown or
interlude are F-C-F-G. I forget how it is played. If corrections are needed
please fix them and enjoy.

I absolutely love this song, especially the Zooromancer mix! As for what it's about, that's pretty easy. :) It's pertains to the Biblical story where King Herod asked a dancer, Salome, if he could give her a present, so she requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter ("don't make me stick to my promise")!

I love this song, too. I assume the reason it didn't make it on the Achtung Baby album is because "Mysterious Ways" is about the same thing from another angle.
