xPlants vs Zombies is an upcoming game by Popcap, and they did a bit of viral marketing it in the form of a song. Song is found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N1_0SUGlDQ This is the main synth riff used to introduce the song and in the chorus: e|--------6------5----------------8-6-5--------------------------------------| B|-----------8--------------6-8-----------8-6-8-6----------------------------| G|-5h7-8-------7--------7h8-----------------------8-7------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------6-----5---------------5------------------------------------------------| B|---------8---------------6-8---8----------------------------------------------| G|-5h7-8-----7---------7h8------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| So basically, you shorten the synth part when it's about to change. The bass riff in the chorus & verse is: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------3---------------5---------------------------------------------| A|-3----3h5h6------6---5-5h7h8-----5-----------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The bit in the bridge goes, on the synth: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7---7h10---7--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------10-8--7-------8----------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| And on the bass: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------5-3-----5---------------------------------------------------------| A|-3---3-5------------5------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| The only other thing to watch out for is when the bass does the following scale, which it does between sections. Oh, you'll want to transpose the bass up an octave if you're playing this on bass. Apart from the scale bit. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------3-5-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-------3-5-7---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-3-5-6---------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
