Gravel Bass

Gravel
 
from Living In Clip
by Ani DiFranco
Verse 1:
 
The bass plays on the drum beats.
 
G-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A--------------------2-----3--------------------------------------|
E-------------5---------------------------------------------------|
 
Chorus:
 
G------------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-1--1-1--3-0-3-5--5-5--3--3-3-0----1-----1-1--3-0--3---5--5-5-----|
 
 
G----------------------------2--2-2--------------------------------------|
D---------2--3--3-3--5--2-5----------5-5-5--2-3--------------------------|
A-3--3--5----------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------3----------|
 
the second verse of the chorus is basically the same with a few
variations that you can fool with yourself but the one worth noting is:
 
G----------------------------|
D-----------------3----------|
A-----2----3--5--------------|
E-5--------------------------|
 
Now the part below comes directly after the first chorus and it is fast.
the part where she says 'oh oh oh oh' etc:
 
G-------------------------|
D-------------------------|
A--3--3---------3---------|
E-5--5---0-3-5-5-5-3------|
 
 
Verse 2 is like verse one with variations near the end and the second
chorus is again, alike with very minor variations that you can even
ignore BUT verse 3 goes:
 
G----------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------|
A-----2--3----------3--------------------|
E--5---------0-3-5-5--5-3----------------|
 
this continues till the very end. it is actually a combination of
the verse figures and the 'oh oh' figure (for lack of a better name)
 
note: i prefer playing 5's to 0's but you can just as well substitute if
it makes your paying easier and still sound ok without too much ringing.
