Pinback - Penelope
Guitar & Bass

Howdy y'all, i recently decided to do a cover of Penelope in my audio production coarse
and after viewing numerous tabs on the net i realised none of them were very accurate.
Generally speaking people had the main riff down but the rest of the song was severely
lacking - confusing the piccolo bass (bass with light strings that is an octave higher 
than usual)
lines for guitar and vice versa. I also found people were combining the bass during the
verse/chorus with the kick drum groove as they have a very similar sound. I haven't bothered
to check YouTube to try and match what they're playing live - this sounds extremely 
close to
the album version, which is what you want ;) There are a number of inversions that are just
as easy to play but this worked well for me.
Hope you enjoy it!

it ring out)

===============================================================================

As mentioned earlier the bass lines are played on a piccolo bass. If you don't have one 
it still
sounds fine and if you really wanted you could use a pitch shifter to move it up an octave.

Bass 1:
Verse/chorus (you can add extra plucks on the first 7, 10 and 8
              but its the kick drum that gives that impression)
G |--------------------------7----|
D |---------------------/7h9---9--|
A |--/7----5--/10-----------------|
E |----------------8--------------|

Bridge (there is a piano line that mimics most of these notes, listen for the timing, 
its quite slow)
G |----------------0-----------------------------------------------------|
D |----------4-------------------------9~----10~--12~--------------------|
A |--7~----7---7-----------------7---------------------10~----9~---------|
E |----------------------7~----7---7------------------------------7h8-7--|

Bass 2:
Bridge-overdub (its a steady continuous pluck here, i just added spaces to make counting easier)
G |------------------------------------------|
D |------------------------------------------|
A |--7777-7777-7777-7777-6666-6666-6666-6666-|
E |------------------------------------------|

G ----------------------------------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------------------------------|
A -10101010-10101010-10101010-10101010-7777-7777-6666-------|
E ----------------------------------------------------7777--|

Thats it, I'll leave it to you to figure out when to play all these parts, its pretty 
obvious. Peace!
