Outlaw Heart Bass

Outlaw Heart

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#                 A#m
Desert night under lonely stars
C#                                 A#m
Cruising down the highway takes me farther from home
C#          A#m     C#                              A#m
Whiskey and regret, neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong
F#                C#       F#           C#
So now I'm on the run, the law is on my trail
F#                               C#
Let down the only girl that ever seemed to be the one for me
   F#           G#
so now I wander alone.
 
SOLO-C#,A#m,C#,A#m,C#,A#m,C#,A#m...
 
C#                     A#m
Alone in a cheap motel room.
C#                  A#m
Praying to the Lord above
C#                          A#m
Burden of the past rests so heavy on my shoulders
   F#                               G#
My conscience carries the weight of blood
C#                  A#m       C#                 A#m
Cigarette smoke and shadow, a neon cactus in the night
C#                       A#m
Did what I did because I thought that I had no choice
F#                         G#
but there's always another way
  F#                   C#     F#                              C#
I look to the moon and stars, somewhere underneath them she's there
F#              C#
Never spoke the words of love I hid in my heart
       F#                             G#
If she heard them now would she still care?
F#                          C#       F#                        C#
Wonder if she's thinking of me? does she hate me for what I've done?
F#                             C#
How I wish that I could change everything and go back
F#                         G#
now that my last chance is gone, It's gone...

F# C# F# C# F# C# F# G#
 
F#                          C#
Moon, will you tell her for me
F#                                      C#
I'm sorry for all the trouble that I've caused
F#                             C#
If only I could find a way to return to her someday
F#                           G#
for I long to hold her in my arms
F#                                    C#
But I fear that i'm not long for this world
          F#                        C#
because I will not go out without a fight
F#                         C#
I'm running forever and if they should catch me
F#                                       G#
One last thought of her before my gun is fired...

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

even in In the Orchard. If you have any question write me at Mothra_82@hotmail.com
