Surf Wax America bass

Surf Wax America

"Surf Wax America"
by Weezer, from their self-titled debut.
Tuning: Tune to Eb (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb).

Gb|----------------------------------------------| Bass comes in after
Db|----------------------------------------------| intro and plays two 
Ab|--5-5-5-7-7-5--------5-5-5-7-7-5--------------| bars of the verse.
Eb|--------------7-7-3--------------7-7-3-3-3-7--|

  |-----------------------------------|
  |-----------------------------------| Verse.
  |--5-5-5-5-7-7-7-5------------------| Play 4x.
  |------------------7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3--|

  |------------------------------------------
  |------------------------------------------ 
  |------------------------------------------
  |--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-

   ------------------------------------------|
   ------------------------------------------| Chorus,
   -7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--| played 2x.
   ------------------------------------------|

  While the intro is played    |----------------|
  again, Matt plays the roots  |----------------|
  of each chord:               |---------7--10--|
                               |--8--10---------|

                               |-----------------------------------|
  Play verse four times,       |-----------------------------------| 
  then the chorus four times,  |----------3-3-3-3------------------|
  followed by the bridge:      |--5-5-5-5---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|
  Played eight times.              "All   along the   undertow..."

  The slow harmony part is just the roots of the chorus played out,
  and it's followed by another four bars of the chorus.
 
  |-----------------------------------|
  |-----------------------------------| This "outro" is played four times,
  |--3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-------------2-2--| But you end on a solitary Gb note.
  |------------------3-3-3-3-3-3------|

  Thank you.

  I don't surf, I just play the bass.
