                        The Wake-Up Bomb

Bass Tab by Dave Silverstone (dsgumby@future.dreamscape.com)

This is based entirely on my concert bootleg and the MTV music video awards
performance.  I cannot garauntee it's complete accuracy, but it can pass
for the real thing (maybe it even is) anyday.

Main riff (Verse and "Oh! The wake up bomb"):
     E    D    A   G    E     D    A    G (pchor)
G-|--------------------------------------|
D-|--------------------------------------|
A-|--7-7--5--5---------5-7-7--5--5-------|
E-|------------5-5--3--------------5-5--3|-5-

Chorus: ("My head's on fire, and high esteem")(a really fun-sounding
glam-rock riff)
   C  G  C    G   C  D                C G  C     G  C  D          C     F(end)
G-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|----
D-|--------------------------5-4-2--------------------------------------|----
A-|-3-----3-3-----3--5-5-5-3-------5--3-----3-3-----3--5-5-5-5-3--3-3-3-|----
E-|---3-3-----3-3-----------------------3-3-----3-3---------------------|-1-
