Cardigans - Heartbreaker bass tab
"Heartbreaker"
as recorded by The Cardigans
From the album "First Band On The Moon"
Music written by Peter Svensson
Lyrics written by Nina Persson
Transcribed by Mark Hirstwood (hirstwoodm@tlss.scbe.on.ca) March 28, 1997
Comments: I tried to write down Magnus' bass line as close as possible
to the recording and I indicated the implied chords for the progression
the first time through. With its sweet-sounding arrangement turning sour only
in the end, "Heartbreaker" is another fine example of The Cardigans incredibly
listenable material.
