The Little Things Give You Away (bass) - tabbed by Astat Tuning: D A D G *Note* The bass on this track is a Fender Precision Bass. Very simple stuff here. The bass doesn't enter until the first chorus, where it basically just doubles the acoustic guitar (note that it doesn't play the last note of the first chorus though). During the second verse, Phoenix plays some subtly different stuff than the guitars do. He starts on an A to double the Am chord, but switches to a C (the minor third) while the guitars stay on the Am, then plays a descending C-B-A pattern that mimics the top notes of the rhythm guitar part before switching to the D chord. He also does a little hammer-on/pull-off thing from D to E and back, again mimicing the top notes of the rhythm guitar. He plays a repeating pattern during the outro that plays the descending C-B-A pattern (but over a C chord this time), before jumping to the upper D octave and moving from D to E and back again. Phoenix also plays some high-register stuff during the breakdown on the live version, but I believe that part is all keyboards on the studio recording.
