Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains

      
BASS TAB:
BAND: Garbage
ALBUM: Garbage
SONG: Only happy when it rains
TAB BY: Paul Simpson (paul_the_bass_guy@hotmail.com)
Tuning is E, A, D, G (standard) I only wrote down the A and E strings
because the others aren't used.
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down
There are no rests between each line but I wrote each line separately
to make it clearer.
VERSE 1:
A-------2--------2----------- E--4------4-2-4---2-2-2-2-

1 2 3 + 4 +1 2 3 4
A----------------2-4-4-4-2---- E--4-2-0-0-0-2-4-----------4-2 A-----------2--------- E--0-0-0-0----0--2-2-2 A----------------2------------- E--4-4-4-4-4-2-4---2-2-2-2-2 A--------------------2-4-4-4-4-2----- E--4-2-0-0-0-0-0-2-4-------------4-2- A-----------2----------- E--0-0-0-0----0-2-2-2-2 A---2-2-2-2-2-2---- E------------------

CHORUS:
A--4-4-4-4-4-4-4----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4 E--------------------4-4-4-4-4-4--------------------------------- A--4-4-4-4-4-4------------------0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------- E-----------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------2-2-2-2

VERSE 2:

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/garbage/only_happy_when_it_rains_btab.html )
This bit has no words but it's the same as the chorus
A---4-4-4-4-----------0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2- E-------------4-4-4-4------------------------ (play this twice)

VERSE 3:
A-------2--------2----------- E--4------4-2-4---2-2-2-2-

1 2 3 + 4 +1 2 3 4
A----------------2-4-4-4-2---- E--4-2-0-0-0-2-4-----------4-2 A--------------------- E--0-0-7-7-5-0--2-2-2- A----------------2------------- E--4-4-4-4-4-2-4---2-2-2-2-2--- A--------------------2-4-4-4-4-2----- E--4-2-0-0-0-0-0-2-4-------------4-2- A---------------------- E--0-0-7-7-5-0-2-2-2-2 A---2-2-2-2-2-2---- E------------------

Then play chorus twice
ENDING:
A------2---------2---------- E---4-----4-2-4---2-2-2-2 A----------------2-4-4-4-4-2---- E--4-2-0-0-0-2-4-------------4-2 A----------2--------- E-0-0-0-0----0-2-2-2 A----------------------------------2-4-4-4-4-4-4-2---- E--4--4--4--4--4---0-0-0-0-0-0-2-4-----------------4-2

(now play this 4 times)
then play this until the end of the song:
A--------------------------------2-4-4-4-4-4-2-------------- E-4--4--4--4--4--0-0-0-0-0-0-2-4---------------4-2-4-4-4-4-4 D-------2-2-2-0------ A---2-4---------4-2-- E-4-----------------4
