Tuning: Standard
 
BASS FACE: Optional
 
Disclaimer: It's 2am, and this is my second tab ever. Apologies if it's rubbish, feel
free to let me know what's wrong with it/correct it. This corresponds to the recorded
version of 'Forever', not a live version.
 
Haim are bloody brilliant, and Este's bass lines are awesome. So, enjoy! (and sorry if it's bad!)

*Looking at some of the live videos, this end part may actually be played further up and
on the D string, so have a play around with it.

"BASS FACE: Optional" hahahahahahahaha love it!

Good tab, but when you go up in the chorus, I'm pretty sure it's the same as in the verse, like this: G|----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------7--7-------------------| A|---33-----5---353----------7\3--353-----------| E|-1----1/3---3-----3/5---5------3----3---------| What you did with fret 2 and 3 on the A string sounds good, but doesn't really suit the song I think. I'm not sure, it's just my feeling.
