Marillion-Power Sounds That Can’t Be Made Bass Tab This whole song has a strong pattern that keeps repeating itself, only the fills change. I have shown when you should play which note in which the pattern is then playing. 0:00-0:12 first verse Cm G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D-----------------------------3-1------------------------------------| A-3-3-3-3---1-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3----3-3-3-3-----------------------------| E---------3--------3-------------------------------------------------| 0:13-0:35 The pattern is the same as shown above, but goes to Gm at 0:33 when H sings “…to feel it though” Just play single notes, then go back to Cm at 0:37 Gm Cm G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D--------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------3-3-3-3---------------------------------------------------| E-3-3-3-3------------------------------------------------------------| 0:35-1:12 still first verse *0:39 Fm slide downwards from the 8th fret on the E string *0:42 Bb *0:46 Gm *0:49 Cm *0:52 Fm with the same slide downwards from the 8th fret on the E string *0:55 Bb (no fill) *0:58 Gm *1:01 Cm *1:04 Fm *1:07 Bb *1:10 Gm Fm Bb Gm Cm Fm G-------------------------3----------------------------------------| D-------------3-1-----------1-----------5----------------3---------| A-----------------1-1-1-1-----------------3-3-3-3------------------| E-8\1-1-1-1-1--------1--------3-3-3-3-3------3----8\1-1-1-1-1------| Bb Gm Cm Fm Bb Gm G------3------3----------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------5---------3----------3---------3---------| A-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------3-3-3-3--------------1-1-1-1-----------| E---------------3-3-1-3-3------3------1-1-1-1-1-----1------3-3-3-3-| 1:12-1:37 Chorus The pattern above is not played in the chorus, but I will show again which notes are played. The ‘groove’ on the other hand is still being kept in the chorus, just listen to the song and you’ll get what I mean. *1:12 Cm *1:16 Fm *1:19 Bb *1:22 Ab *1:25 Cm *1:28 Fm *1:31 Bb *1:34 Ab *1:37 Cm Cm Fm Bb Ab Cm Fm Bb Ab G-------------------------------------------------------------3------| D------------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-------3-----| A-3-3-3-3--------1-1-1-1-1-0-1-3---------3-3-3-3--------1-1-1---3----| E--------1-1-1-1-----------------4-4-4-4-------------------------4-4-| G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D---6----------------------------------------------------------------| A----6---------------------------------------------------------------| E-4---4--------------------------------------------------------------| 1:37-2:38 Second verse, follows the same pattern as the first verse 2:38-3:26 Chorus, follows the same pattern as first chorus 3:27-4:26 This part is played slow and in the background, so it’s difficult to hear in the beginning. Repeat the figure beneath until the next part starts at 4:27. G-----8--8-7-5--5----------------------------------------------------| D---8--8------3--3---------------------------------------------------| A-6---------------3-5-6----------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------------| 4:27-5:01 “But now you can’t function…” This figure basically is just playing the scale of Cm. You can hear it in the song when the scale is being progressed, but I will also show it here like I did before. It’s possible that some of the fills are wrong and I didn’t tab the right amount of notes to play within each chord, but listen to the song and you’ll know what I mean. Cm Dm Eb Fm Gm Ab G---------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------------------------------| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---------------------------| E-------------------------------------------1-1-1-1-3-3-3-1-2-3-4-4-4-| Bb Gm Ab Gm Ab Gm G---------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------------------------------| A-----2-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1------------------------3-------------------1--| E-4-4------------------1-2-3-3-3-3-4-4-4-4-4-6--3-3-3-3-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-| Fm (“From heaven…”) G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D--------------------------------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------------------------------| E-1-1-1--------------------------------------------------------------| 5:01-5:31 Again the scale of Cm is being played. The bass stops at 5:26, just hold the 3rd fret on the A string. Cm Dm Eb Fm Gm Ab Bb G---------------------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------5--------------| A-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-8-8-8-8-8-8-9-10-----3----------------| E-----------------------------------------------3-3-3---4-4-4-4-6-6-6-| Cm G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------1-3----------------------------------------------------| A-----3-3-3-3----3---------------------------------------------------| E-6-6----------------------------------------------------------------| 5:31-6:05 play the intro again.
