REM
SITTING STILL  (Bass Tab)


From: Christopher Gantner (cgantner@arches.uga.edu)


Introduction and "I can hear you"

Note the "."'s are on the tab to seperate notes.  They have no value in
counting time.  Each - is a quarter beat.

D|---------------------------------------------9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9-
A|12-12.11.11-11.9-9-9-9-9.11.12-12.11.11-11.11----------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------

G|--------------------------
D|--------------------------
A|12-12.11.11-11.9-9-11-9-7-

Towards the end of the song there will be a line where the 9's on the D
string will not be played.  Insted just play the 9's on the A string like
the first part of the riff.
