WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Pink Floyd - Happiest Days Of Our Lives Bass | Ver. 2
"Roger Waters is typically an underated bass player. The fact, of course, is that he is a brilliant
bass player (among other talents). Although you won't often find complex bass lines as you
do in a typical Geddy Lee (Rush) or Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) piece, he is a master at
providing the "perfect bass line" which naturally compliments David Gilmour's guitar work.
Tuning: DADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide (low to high)
\ = slide (high to low)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
* My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other
words, there are no specific notations to account for note / rest duration. However, you will
find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective
measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.
