Tuning: Standard
This is my first tab, so there may be some mistakes, please feel free to comment with
feedback, critisism and advice.What I've tabbed here is basically the way I play it with
band, hope everyone digs it.
Enjoy!
Intro:
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----7---------------------7---------------------------------------------|
E|-0-0---8-7-5-3-2-3-2-1/--0---8---2S--------------------------------------|
This is a real gentle slap, until the last one,also,you only play the two open E's the
time through. PLAY X5
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------9Ph10-|
D|---------8P-4P------------8P-4P-------------8P-4P------------------9Ph10-|
A|------6P---------------6P----------------6P---------------6P-------------|
E|-5S-h7------------5S-h7-------------5S-h7------------5S-h7---------------|
The last part can be quite tricky,basically, you have to pop both the G and D strings at
first its hard,but once you've got the technique it's easy.
G|------------------9Ph10--------------------------------------------------|
D|---------8P-4P----9Ph10----------8P-4P-----------------------------------|
A|------6P----------------------6P-----------------------------------------|
E|-5S-h7-------------------5S-h7-----------3S-h2-3S------------------------|
PLAY X2
Verse:
G|-------------------9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
D|----------8P-4P----9Ph10----PLAY X3------------8P-4P---------------------|
A|-------6P-----------------------------------6P---------------------------|
E|-5S-h7--------------------------------5S-h7------------3Sh2-3S-----------|
Then:
G|-------------------9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
D|----------8P-4P----9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------6P----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5S-h7-------------------------------------------------------------------|
The above part gets played varying amount of times depending on the verse, listen to the
to hear the amount.
PreChorus: ("I will rape your personality...")
G|-------------------9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
D|----------8P-4P----9Ph10---PLAY X4---------------------------------------|
A|-------6P----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5S-h7-------------------------------3S----------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/primus/sgt_baker_btab_ver_4.html ]
Chorus ("I said Right...")
G|-------------------9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
D|----------8P-4P----9Ph10----------------------8P-4P----------------------|
A|-------6P-----------------------------------6P---------------------------|
E|-5S-h7--------------------------------5S-h7------------3Sh2-3S-----------|
G|-------------------9Ph10-------------------------------------------------|
D|----------8P-4P----9Ph10----------------------8P-4P----------------------|
A|-------6P-----------------------------------6P---------------------------|
E|-5S-h7--------------------------------5S-h7------------3S-2S-1S----------|
Again, the amount of times played varies per chorus.
Bridge:
G|-2----------2-2-------------------0Ph1--------1Ph2-----------2Ph3--------|
D|-2----------2-2--PLAY X2-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---3S-3S-2S---------------0S-x-0S------0S-x-0S-------0S-x-0s-------------|
G|---------2----------------------------\----------------------------------|
D|---------2-----PLAY whole Bridge X4---\----------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0S-x-0s-------------------------------------------3S-2S-1S--------------|
The fourth time Les plays the bridge,he uses his whammy bar during the silences between
strumming the G and D string and slapping the E, if you don't have a whammy bar, you can
slide down the E string a little way,and it sounds ok. the bit at the very end of the
is weird, what I do is slide on the G and D until the strings are dead, and then tap
on the A string, as you can hear Les doing something very quietly on his bass, its not
he does I think, but it sounds cool. Then do the slapping on the E.
End of bridge into verse:
this is the part where the guitar plays the main riff on its own,Les just throws a
of slaps in, the last slap is really quick and quiet.
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3S----3S--5S--7S------(Then back into verse)---------------------------|
End:
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-3S-2S-1S----------------------------------------------------------------|
Thats about it, Les throws in a couple of fills during the verse sometimes, but I'll
them up to people to improvise, because I think that's more fun. It looks kinda hard, but
you get into the groove it really isn't. Hope this tab helped.
Peace out!
