BTAB: Bella Legosi's Dead
Artist: Bauhaus

**Padrino's Bass Tab Exclusive!**

There is not much bass in this song. During all the long parts with just
drums and guitar screech noises, the bass player sometimes hits a random note.
Its usually open E or A. When the vocals/rhythm guitar come in every now and
then, you play one of these two riffs, they change on and off.

Riff 1:
G|----------||----------||----------|
D|----------||----------||----4-----|
A|-5--4--2--||-5--4--2--||-5-----2--|
E|----------||----------||----------|



Riff 2:
G---5---5---4---4----
D--------------------
A-3---3---2---2---0~-
E--------------------

The live version of this song (the only one i've heard) sounds like it has
a distorted bass, and maybe another affect only used in some spots.

Sub Bass Correction Notes:
I only changed riff 1. it was previously this:
G----------
D----------
A-3~-2~-0~-
E----------

but it didn't sound right to me when I played along and there was a
variation that was played the third time the riff comes in that wasn't
mentioned. I'm not doing bad for only being a few months into music.
let me know if there are any mistakes. ;)

so there you have it. Thanks go out to Rattman for getting it started.

"In Fear of Fear" by Bauhaus (from the album "Mask")
====================================================
tabbed by Jason Miller (jasoncm@juno.com)
comments, corrections, etc. are welcome


Intro (pop on the first two notes):

G|--7-7------------------------------
D|----------------------0-3-3-2-2-0--
A|--------------0-3-3-3--------------
E|------0-3-3-3----------------------

Main (okay, so it's the same damn thing):

G|--7------------------------------
D|--------------------0-3-3-2-2-0--
A|------------0-3-3-3--------------
E|----0-3-3-3----------------------

There are some variations on this bassline
throughout the song, but all basically use
the same notes, just in different order,
mostly on the A string.
