Guitar and Bass Tab Standard tuning. Surfin' Bird is a cover of the Trashmen and the Cramps, recorded in less than two hours in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia during late January 1996. It appears on MOM, a compilation which is a benefit for the Surfrider Foundation. Very basic song with three chords. I think the bass follows the guitar except in the second riff. the first riff played eight times is: e||-----------------------------------------------|| B||-----------------------------------------------|| G||-o--9-9--9-9------------9----9---------------o-|| D||-o--9-9--9-9----9-----9-9----9---9----9-9-9--o-|| A||----7-7--7-7----9-----9-7----7---9----9-9-9----|| E||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----|| X8 G||-----------------------------------------------|| D||-o-------------------------------------------o-|| A||-o--7-7--7-7------------7----7---------------o-|| E||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----|| "Everybody's heard a-bout the bird ..." the following riff isn't the same for guitar and bass: |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |--9-------------------------------7----------------------------------| |--9-------------------------------7----------------------------------| |--7-------------------------------5----------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------6---7---6-----------------------4---5------------------| |------6---9---------------9---6-------4---7-----------7---4----------| |--7-------------------------------5----------------------------------| "Don't you know about the bird, everybody's heard about the bird." The third is the same as the first one, played twice, then a chord that Daniel slides down. ||-----------------------------------------------||----| ||-----------------------------------------------||----| ||-o--9-9--9-9------------9----9---------------o-||-9-| ||-o--9-9--9-9----9-----9-9----9---9----9-9-9--o-||-9-| ||----7-7--7-7----9-----9-7----7---9----9-9-9----||-7-| ||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----||----| X2 ||-----------------------------------------------||----| ||-o-------------------------------------------o-||----| ||-o--7-7--7-7------------7----7---------------o-||-7-| ||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----||----| Order: Repeat four times these three riffs one after another, with a pause of four beats between the first and second times for drums, then a pause of four beats between the second and third times for singing, and finally a pause of eight beats between the third and fourth times for drums. _______________________________________________________ Contribuição: Rafael Ortiz P.
