Royal Oil (ver2) Bass Tab - Mighty Mighty Bosstones






other tab was good but not perfect and the bridge was
way off so credit to Rafael Amaral for most of this

intro and verse  (intro 1.5x)
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|---------2-4-2----2*-2--2-4-2------|
E|--5-5--5-------2--------------5-2--|
*end on this note at the break before verse 1

chorus riff 1
G|----------------------------------|
D|------4-7-----4-7-----------------|
A|--5-5-----4-4-----2-2--4-2--------|
E|---------------------------5-2-0--|

chorus riff 2
G|----------------------------------|
D|------4-7-----4-7-----------------|
A|--5-5-----4-4-----/7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|
E|----------------------------------|
riff 2 always ends the chorus, but riff 1 is played a different
number of times depending on which chorus it is, just listen to
find out

bridge
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|--------------2--|
E|--5--5--5--5----|
hard to tab the rhythm. i guess u could say the A's
should take up two counts (although they arnt strictly
eighth notes)and the B is a half note

for the last chorus you play riffs 1 and 2 a few times (again,
listen to it to know when to play which) and then play this ending riff:

G|-------------------------------------|
D|------4-7-----4-7--------------------|
A|--5-5-----4-4-----2-2--4-2-----------|
E|---------------------------5-2-0--5--|
