			     Happy? - Mudvayne
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Have fun with this tab...not too hard compared to Mudvayne's other songs.
I can almost promise this is about 95% correct!
 
Tabbed By : Shadow8 (David) ME!
e-mail: Mudfandkbass@yahoo.com
 
Tuning: C,G,C,F. (High to low) You can do it on a 5-string bass too.
5-String Bass Tuning: C,G,C,D,G ((you don't play the D-G strings AT ALL in the song, so
can leave them in standard tuning!))
 
Key: T- Tap with 2 fingers index + middle.
Key: / Slide Down.
Key: \ Slide Up.
key: _  Hold note as long as he does in the song.
 
I'll mark changes in the song, like changing to the chorus,
by doing this- #1, #2, #3, ...
 
It's better to play this WITH the song, so you can get the timing right.
When you get it it sounds great! Almost perfect!
I'll look over and consider any email I get telling me
I missed something. Thanks!!!!!!  _Shadow8_ (David)

Ryan plays in G,C,G,C,F on a warwick 5 string thumb

This is a pretty good tab. I'm still waiting for mine to get put on here. I wanna know what the freakin hold up is.

In #3 Ryan plays octaves. When the root note is on the low C-string, the octave is on higher C-string, same fret. (for example: F|--------- C|-7-7-7-7- G|--------- C|-5-5-5-5- T T T T Should be like this: F|--------- C|-5-5-5-5- G|--------- C|-5-5-5-5- T T T T
