Ministry - Bloodlines bass tab

Tabbed by gilevsky (at) yandex.ru

All riffs except "main" one are played with harsh distortion. The "chorus"

riff is a guess, although the notes are correct, I don't really know how exactly

that small bit is played. This simple and rocking song (of course, it's sorta

self-ripoff of "So What":) was made for "Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines"

game and released through iTunes in late August of 2004. Later appeared

on Ministry's "Rantology" CD and on second edition of "Houses of the Mole"

album as a hidden bonus track. Check out "So What" bass tab and see the similarity!
