Wait until the dust settles

I certainly do

Feel free

You wait and see when the smoke clears

Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)

The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You grieve, you learn; you choke, you learn

JOHN'S ASCII BASS TABS

Some Slap, Pop, Tap, Funk Conventions:

- h7=hammer 7th fret w/left hand

- H13=hammer 13th fret w/right hand (arpeggio)

- p6=pull off 6th fret w/left hand

- P9=Pluck (pull hard and let go - right hand) 9th fret

- S5=Slap (hit string with right thumb) 5th fret

- X=Pop (hit all strings w/left hand) sounds like bass drum

simply providing a beat reference.

- /3=slide from previous fret down to 3rd fret

- \9=slide from previous fret up to 9th fret

"+" and "." represent rhythm above the tab

|+ . + . + . + . |+ . + . + . + . |

this is two measures, four beats

John.
