Outlaw Heart
Tiger Army
Bass Tab
Tabbed by Mothra
Well to start off,the chords used in the song are C# A#m F# and G#.
And the bass simply follows using Fifths. Which really is only two notes
at a time, the root note and the 'fifth' which is the note above the root.
Example for C# on the A string, the note above is G# on the E string.
It may sound complicated, but it is very simple. If you listen to the song you'll notice
back-and-forth bass line, only two notes per chord. Bass is very easy to play, I'll
you.
For C# Sharp use this.....A#m.........F#.........G#
G-----------------------|G---------|G---------|G---------|
D-----------------------|D---------|D---------|D---------|
A-4---4-----------------|A-1---1---|A---4---4-|A---6---6-|
E---4---4---------------|E---1---1-|E-2---2---|E-4---4---|
Those are the riffs for the chords, just plug them in where you need to.
C#Desert night under A#mlonely stars
C#Cruising down the highway takes me A#mfarther from home
C#Whiskey and A#mregret, C#neither can erase the fact that A#mI have done wrong
F#So now I'm on the C#run, the F#law is on my C#trail
F#Let down the only girl that ever C#seemed to be the one for me
so F#now I wander G#alone.
SOLO-C#,A#m,C#,A#m,C#,A#m,C#,A#m...
C#Alone in a cheap motel A#mroom.
C#Praying to the Lord A#mabove
C#Burden of the past rests so A#mheavy on my shoulders
My F#conscience carries the weight of G#blood
C#Cigarette smoke and A#mshadow, a C#neon cactus in the A#mnight
C#Did what I did because I A#mthought that I had no choice
F#but there's always another G#way
I F#look to the moon and C#stars, F#somewhere underneath them she's C#there
F#Never spoke the C#words of love I hid in my heart
If she F#heard them now would she still G#care'
F#Wonder if she's thinking of C#me' does F#she hate me for what I've C#done'

F#for I long to hold her in my G#arms
F#But I fear that i'm not long for this C#world

That's all there is to it. Just play the riff notes to the particular chord.
