/ Primus / Antipop (1999) / Greet the Sacred Cow bass tab

************************
  * Greet The Sacred Cow *
  ************************

  By Primus

  From the "Antipop" Album

  Tabbed By NutButter (Bass Player for 5 Sided Cube)

  I found the original version tabbed on the archive to be
 wrong (author is not listed on the original version), so
 I thought I would correct the problem. I have included a
 full tab and not just the corrections. All notes on the E
 and A strings are slapped, all notes on the D and G strings
 are popped. You'll have to work out the order of the riffs
 yourselves but it's not too hard.

   h - hammer on
   p - pull off
   x - muted note
   * - natural harmonic

  I'm not sure, but you may need to play the funky riffs an
 octave lower on the E string. Whichever you feel sounds the
 best.
