/ Ataris / Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits (1999) / Answer: bass tab

> means strum
* means pause

Intro
do some sort of slide deal on the E string around 5 or so. I can't
figure out what it is exactly.  Then the bass comes in with this:
G|----------------------------------
D|----------------------------------
A|-2-2-2-2--2-2--2-2--2-2-3---------
E|----------------------------------
play that 4 times, and then this:
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|--2----3-----5-----------2-----3-----5-----12>-----|
E|-------------------5-------------------------------|
the 3's are played short, the rest are held out

Verse "I sat and thought the other day..."
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------7>-----|
A|--2>----3>-----5>------------2>-----3>-----5>-----------|
E|----------------------5>--------------------------------|

Chorus "I'm not trying to say..."
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------5>----------------5>-------------------------|
E|--3>----------------3>----------------------------------|
Continued "To serve ourselves..."
G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--2>--------3>------5-*-2>--------3>-------*-2>-------3>------*---|

Come into the verse starting on the 3, and the play the verse twice.  Then
play the chorus, but the "To serve ourselves" part has some variance, so here it is:
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--2>--------3>------5-*-2>--------3>-------*-2>-------3>------5-*-2>-----|
continued:
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--3>---------2>--------------------------------------|
Keep playing that 2 while the drums do some crazy stuff, and then after that
pause, come in with this crazy part:
"I won't write it..."
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|------5-5-5-4-4-2-0------5-5-5-7--7-7-7------|
E|-2>------------------2>----------------------|
Play that 4 times and end with this:
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|--4--------------------------------|

Nice little tune.
