This is a great song by Shivaree. I've actually performed it on stage a few times,
and this worked beautifully.
To start, the main bass riff of the song is this:
[Intro Bass]
G|---------------------------------||
D|----------2--3--2----------------||
A|----0--3-----------3--2--0-------||
E|---------------------------------||(x3)
G|---------------------------------||
D|---------------------------------||
A|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------||
E|---------------------------------||
If you're playing without a bass, you can mute this riff
on your guitar. Common sense.
Now, there's a buzzing sound under the bass in the intro.
That can simply be duplicated with an A.
Intro guitar (Optional)
E|----------------------------||
B|----------------------------||
G|----------------------------||
D|---2------(Bass Riff Plays)-||
A|---0------------------------||
E|----------------------------||(x4)
Ok. One more optional thing. Throughout the song, there's this
descending riff that's repeated. That's a keyboard going down half
notes, but I played it with harmonics on stage. It just isn't as
long as the keyboard riff, for lack of harmonic notes to play, but
it sounds really pretty and spices up the song.
[Descending Riff] (Optional)
E|---------12*---------------------------------------||
B|-----7*-----------12*------------------------------||
G|--------------7*-----------12*---------------------||
D|-----------------------7*-----------12*------------||
A|--------------------------------7*-----------12*---||
E|-----------------------------------------7*--------||
Now, that was mostly just little stuff. Intro's done. You can play
the verses and chorus' with a number of effects. I'd recommend using
vibrato with a high rate, so it gives a shimmer. But it's up to you.
Anyways, here's the song:
[Verse 1]
