silverchair - "Paint Pastel Princess" (Bass Tab) From the album "Neon Ballroom" Transcribed by Neil Thomas (neil.thomas@virgin.net) http://www.chairpage.com Notes: ------ 1. The song is downtuned, with a drop D - all the strings except the "E" string are tuned down a half-step (one fret), and the E is tuned down 1 and a half steps. The "E" string is then C sharp, the "A" string is then A flat etc... 2. Riff 1 may have some picking errors, as it it very hard to accurately transcribe the rhythm of one repeating note. 3. If you are not sure about any part of the song, the approximate timings shown below might help. 4. There are no guarantees that this tab is accurate - it is unofficial. However, I personally am very sure that this tab is nearly 100% accurate.
