SHE IS NOT ALONE

bass tab by chris lawrence

harmonics:

G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------   you can play note or harmonic @ 12th fret
A----------------------------------      you can also play 16th fret harmonic @ 9th fret
E---<12>----<16>----<12>----<16>---  

at some point before thurston starts singing, switch to:

G--------------------------------
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E---16-x-x-16-x-x-16-x-x-16-x-x-- the x's are muted harmonics around the 15th fret


When they revived the song in 1999, they gave it a slight rearrangement: 

- Kim now played a single B note during the entire song. 
- Thurston used F#F#F#F#EB w/ a drumstick. He mostly plays "figure #5" or random strikes.
- Lee changed his part considerably, playing leads in GGDDGG w/ a capo at the 4th fret, so BBF#F#BB.

Instead of ending after a single verse, they doubled the song's structure, playing another lengthy 
instrumental and verse to conclude the song. The second part is usually aggressively noisy, with Lee 
utilizing his ring modulator and Thurston really digging in with the drumstick. I love this version 
of the song!

In 2000 and early 2001, they changed the key to F#. In April 2001 it was shifted to G, and stayed
that way for a while, flip-flopping back and forth from F# to G during its few appearances in the set
between 2002 and 2009.
