Delirious - The Mezzanine Floor bass tab
Artist: Delirious
Album: Mezzamorphis
Song Title: The Mezzanine Floor
Tabbed by Mike K.
I decided to start tabbing some delirious songs because they hve really cool
baselines, but you can't find the tab anywhere on the net. If you have any
requests, comments, corrections etc. you can email me at

When your playing this song, the notes should be perfect. A lot of times it
can be hard to tell the exact rhytmn and number of notes, for example, if
the bass hits a note at the same time as the bass drum, and then the bd hits
again it can sound like two notes coming from the bass, but I have good
speakers, and I listened really carefully, so I'm pretty sure everything's
correct.

Now this last bit is kind of tricky, and you will definately have to listen
to the song. At the very end there are three options, and you will have to
listen to know which one to play. Most of the time you will play it as
writtien, but sometimes you will pause before you play the last part of the
riff, and you won't play as much of it.
G|----8h10------------10-12-10---|
D|----------------------------12-|
A|8----------8--10---------------|

Also, about every three times you repeat the line, for some reason it is
about two beats shorter. Here, you just hit the G (Fret 10 on A string)
twice and then slide down, for example:
G|----8h10-------------|--------4h6-------...
D|---------------------|------------------...
A|8----------8--10-10\\|4-----------4-6---...
A|---------------------|------------------...
>From here you just go right into the next iteration.
Finally, when the song ends, you'll want to hit the G on the 15th fret of
your E string so that you can slide all the way down to the E.
