Mother 3 - Mom's Hometown BASS TAB
                       Composed by Shogo Sakai

               Tabbed by auriplane  (crystal@panix.com)




If a note has a dot over it, play it short.  If you see an L, that means
"tied note".  The fast part is simplified; see the bottom of the tab for
the actual notes.

Four-string bass, standard tuning.

A note about the fast runs:

There's seven notes in each of these; the first six are the same every time,
and the last one changes each time.  I simplified it for the tab, because it's
too hard to play for no (IMO) aural benefit.  I'd struggle to play all seven
notes and end up with it sounding worse.

But, for the sake of completion, here's what they look like, if you want to
play the exact notes:


    Part B

G |0-2-0---------|                             G |0-2-0---------|
D |------3-2-0---|             and             D |------3-2-0---|
A |--------------|                             A |------------4-|
E |------------3-|                             E |--------------|

    Part B'

A |--------------|                             A |------------3-|
