Why? Heck if I know. When I did the guitar tab for this song there was nothing to indicate anything but standard tuning (save perhaps the for KISS somewhat unusual key of Bb). Since much of Paul's 80's stuff had been in standard tuning I didn't give it a second thought. But now, when I try my hand at the bass, it turns out that it needs a low Eb. Rather than tab this for 5-string (which Gene rarely, is ever yields) I tabbed this for Eb-tuning. I don't have the patience to re-tab the guitar you'll have to do with this. As for the song, it's very 80's. Pumping eight-note bass (probably played by either Paul or Bruce) under plenty of keyboards. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2---2--2--2--2--2-----------| E|------------------------------------------2--4--2--| < -
