----------------------------------------------

Ok, this is written for a five-string bass in standard tuning (BEADG)
I'm pretty sure Kyuss used a 4-stringer tuned to C on this one but it's
easy enough to swap it over.

This is another Kyuss song that's been a gaggin' for a tabbin' so here is.

Intro riff:
. . .
-|-------------------12--|-
-|.---------------12----.|-
-|.----3-/-10-10--------.|-
-|--3--------------------|-
-|-----------------------|-

Notes with dots above them are really short, you'll see what I mean when
you play it.

Other/Verse riff:

-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-----------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.---------------------------------0---------------0---------------|-
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---1-1-1-1-1-1-1---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|-

Towards the end of the song they just play the same thing but holding the
D# and D instead of playing lots of them. Finsh by playing C loads of times
over and that's it.

Alternative way of playing the verse

-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-----------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|.-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|------------------------------------------------------------------|-

Right, on the 1st one it's easier not to play A open but to just play B before
the C. This isn't quite right but sounds fine if you play it like that.
Alternatively tune the B down to an A, I'm just too lazy to bother detuning!
