PRIMUS - "greet the sacred cow" Tablature

Official PRIMUS Tablature & Sheet Music »

************************
* Greet The Sacred Cow *
************************

By Primus

From the "Antipop" Album

Tabbed By NutButter (Bass Player for 5 Sided Cube)

I found the original version tabbed on the archive to be
wrong (author is not listed on the original version), so
I thought I would correct the problem. I have included a
full tab and not just the corrections. All notes on the E
and A strings are slapped, all notes on the D and G strings
are popped. You'll have to work out the order of the riffs
yourselves but it's not too hard.

h - hammer on
p - pull off
x - muted note
* - natural harmonic

I'm not sure, but you may need to play the funky riffs an

best.
