All Hell For A Basement Tab

Big Sugar        All Hell for a basement
 
 
Tab by Paul(amskatevic@hotmail.com if you know a better way) Canada rules!
 
 
guitar: mellow overdriven fender twin reverb like smoothness,
	but lay into it when the chorus hits
 
bass: semi-deep synth feel always pushing in the background
      The bass is extremely important (Bass tab coming soon)
 
 
Verse 1+3 is a single note guitar interpretation of the bass part.
You can sing Verse 1+3 with the beginning riff or the notes above the lyrics:
