Official KYUSS Tablature & Sheet Music »

Song Title: Thumb
Artist: Kyuss
Tabber: BIG Dan
Email: bigbadpartyanimal@hotmail.com

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

5-String bass in standard tuning. Although the 5th string is redundant on
this track I've left it in just for consistency with my other tabs. This
track has that very blues style rhythm that Kyuss use in so many of their
tracks. Just play along with the cd and it flows very easily.

|NOTE: t-t-t's denote triplet notes|

Intro/Verse riff:

Chorus riff:
This bit I'm not too sure
about but it sounds alright

t-t-t t-t-t t-t-t t--t--t

-|.-4-4-444-4-4-444---1-1--------|-
-|------------------------4-4-4--|-

t-t-t t-t-t

Plat the intro riff once to finish the chorus. Also, the chorus never repeats
itself twice in a row.

Outro:

-|-----------------------------|-
-|.---------------------------.|-
-|.---------------------------.|-
-|--1--1-1-4--4-3--3--3/7-6-7--|-
-|-----------------------------|-

Just repeat the outro untill the end of the song. It's more interesting to play
than the other Kyuss tracks I've posted so far but is still a classic
example of how a simple song can still blow your socks off.
