Spock’s Beard- In The Mouth Of Madness The Kindness of Strangers Bass Tab Remember, the song is tuned a half step down! 0:00-0:12 intro, no bass 0:12-0:24 Figure 1 First you play the A string (or Ab actually) 16 times…divided in 4 bars. Just play the rest and repeat until 0:24. G-------------------------12--11--10--9------------------------------ D-------------------------------------------------------------------- A-0-0-0-0-(4x)-4-3-2-0-10---9---8---7--4-3-2-1----------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:24-0:36 no bass 0:36-0:42 Figure 1 again 0:42-0:54 There is little bass played here at 0:47, so I won’t call it a figure. This part will be coming back though at 1:24. G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------- A---0---------------------------------------------------------------- E-0------------------------------------------------------------------ 0:54-1:18 Figure 2 Bass stops playing around 1:12 The first part is played twice. At 1:06 you change it. I underlined the lyrics to show when the last 3 notes are played when Neal sings “Here in the mouth of madness” G-------9-9-7-6---------------4-------------------------------------- D---5/9--------7-(2x)-------5---0------------------------------------ A-7---------------------2-5------0-2--------------------------------- E---------------------3---------------------------------------------- 1:18-1:24 Figure 1 again 1:24-1:36 The verse is being played again, but now with bass that was earlier played at 0:42. Just listen to the song for the timing of these two notes. G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------- A---0---------------------------------------------------------------- E-0------------------------------------------------------------------ 1:36-1:54 Same sort of part like figure 2, but the bass is different this time. Not entirely, just the beginning and the ending. G----------------9-7-6---------4------------------------------------- D------------5/9------7------5---0----------------------------------- A-----2-0--7-------------2-5----------------------------------------- E-0-3-------------------3-------------------------------------------- 1:54-2:18 New part Listen to the song for how and when to play the following notes. The slide towards the 4th fret on the A-string is played at 1:59 The 2nd and 3rd fret on the E-string are played at 2:02-2:03 This whole thing ends when Neal starts laughing. G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------2---------------------------2--------------------2 A-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-/4------------------0-0-0-0-/4---2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-/4-- E-------------------0-0-0-2-3-3-3-3---------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------------------- E-0-0-0-0------------------------------------------------------------ 2:18-2:42 new part, Figure 3 G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------------------------4----5-2-----5-4----5-2-----5-7------ A-0-0-7-4-0-4-7-6-0-0-7-4-0-4-7---3-3----3-7-----3-3----3-7---------- E--0-----0---------0-----0---------3----3---------3----3------------- 2:42-3:06 guitar and synth solo’s starts. Play Figure 1 3:06-3:30 Play Figure 3 again 3:30-3:54 This is basically the same as the part at 1:24…but with slight changes to it. You can hear the 7th fret on the D string played at 3:35, 3:41 and 3:47. At 3:53 there’s a slide from the 5th fret on the E string towards an open E string. For the rest just play the same thing at 1:24. Listen to the song for timing for this all. G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-5/7-5/7------------------------------------------------------------ A-------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------5\0------------------------------------------------------- 3:55-4:36 Again a variation on Figure 2.
