             Getting Clean In The Dirty South - Sparks The Rescue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Dojix

WIP

This tab is for bass players that are bored of playing just bass parts of songs
as it also includes the tab for (as best as I can manage), the lead. Or at least
a simplified, bass-friendly lead.

A lot of the time during the song, you might find it better to slide between 
notes instead of trying to land each one, because jumbo frets on bass usually 
give a full note sound during slides instead of the guitar's gradual slide sound,
and the notes might be too quick if you're not experienced. I like to slide the 
intro, it sounds pretty good like that.

This is my first tab, so I probably got something wrong, primarily around the 
verses, as they are hard to hear. I must've changed the whole verse section at 
least 7 times by now, so if you can tab it more accurately yourself, I invite you
to post a comment, and I'll add it to this tab.

(Alternatively, frets 21 to 23 work as well for this, though if you lack those
frets, use an octave down at frets 9 to 11. Experiment, as 8 to 11 sounds good
too, as does 9 to 12. In the song, I think this part is done by a synth, so it's
fine to leave it out altogether if you so feel like it)

(Back to intro for the bass/rhythm outro. Lead waits 8 bars, a.k.a, 2 repeats of the
bass/rhythm intro before coming in. After the lead is in, rhythm/bass intro repeats
one more time, and then a slightly modified version of the intro, shown below, is 
played once, and then the song ends)
