Fair Bass

"Fair" by Ben Folds Five
Tabbed by Tim Swan
 
Verse one
Just hold this high "A" (Bend it a little if sounds out of tune)  In
the live versions of this song he rests during the verses
D-19-
or If you wanted to you could hit the harmonic,
D-7-
 
Chorus "Ba baada ba" 4x
G------------------|
D------------------|
A---2---7--5-----5-|
E-0---5------5-3---|
 
Verse 2 -
The same as verse one except he plays with it a little here.  He bends
the string in places and moves it around.  Just listen to the song for
the changes.
 
Chorus - The same
 
Just be for the bridge he plays...
 
E-5-0-5-0-5-0-5-5--5-0-5-0-5-0-5-5--5-0-5-0-5-0-5-5--5-0-5-0-5-0-5-5
 
Bridge- "All this breathing in..."
Play this a few times.

A------------------------------------------------------|
E-3---3-----3---3-----3---3-----3---3------------------|
I know for a fact this part is wrong. I think the notes are correct for the most part
but the rythm is way
 You'll have to listen and adjust it to where I have made any errors.
 
Verse 3 - He hits the high "A" and an octave below it (E-17-).  Listen
as to where.
 
Chorus
 
The End
"Am I right?"

The Upright bass part
There is an upright bass that plays at the same time as the electric
bass.  It only plays during the verses.  The last verse is played in
four eigth notes instead of just the two quater notes.
