Cities


Talking Heads- Cities Bass tab...you could also us this as a chord chart for guitar, just use dominant 7ths strum agressively.. Tina really rocked this song!!!!..killer groove. Play this with a pick and on your amp EQ, turn the bass and low-mids down to about 1/4 and turn your high-mids and treble up to almost full open, so you get kind of a springy and don't be afraid to really dig in and hit the strings hard with the pick... the intro fades in with the chorus riff played 2X...(with the E riff played 2X)...[see chorus] Verse D G-----------| (you can play this riff an octave higher if you like) D-----------| A--5---34---| E---5-X-----| x 8 Think of london... Db G----------| D----------| A--4---23--| E---4-X----| x 2 I'm checkin em out... D G-----------| D-----------| A--5---34---| E---5-X-----| x 2 I got it figured out... G G----------| D-5-5--34--| A--5-5-----| E----------| x 2 some good points... F G----------------------------------------------| D-3-3--12-<<(fret 1 then fret 2, [not fret 12--|d]) A--3-3-----------------------------------------| E--------- x 2---------------------------------| but it all works out... Chorus F# B E x2 G-------------------------|-----------------------------| D--4-----234---2-----012--|-9-----789-------------------| A---4-X-4-------2-X-2-----|--9-X-9----------------------| E-------------------------|-----------------------------| x2 Find your city, find yourself a city to live in..... (this is an alternative to the E part in the chorus...just substitute) E G--------------| D--------------| A-2-----012----| E--2-X-2-------| there is also a crazy guitar solo by Adrian that is played for a couple of bars with the riff...again listen to the record, this is essentially the form of the song...listen for timing and subtle nuances and repeat a few times over..(didn't count it so listen to the record) Enjoy!!!
