All Hell For A Basement by Big Sugar

                     Big Sugar        All Hell for a basement


Tab by Paul([email protected] if you know a better way) Canada rules!


guitar: mellow overdriven fender twin reverb like smoothness,
	but lay into it when the chorus hits

bass: semi-deep synth feel always pushing in the background
      The bass is extremely important (Bass tab coming soon)


Verse 1+3 is a single note guitar interpretation of the bass part.
You can sing Verse 1+3 with the beginning riff or the notes above the lyrics:
