A Million To One


A million to one, Helloween. Bass tab. Transcribed by Steve Begin (sbegin@qc.autoroute.net) All strings tuned down 1/2 step (and the song is probably played with a 5-string bass but I've transcribed it for a 4-string one) B |--------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------| D |--------------|-------7---------|-------------|-------------| A |-5---5-7--5-7-|-8--10---10--8-7-|-5---5-7---7-|-7---8-7-5---| E |---5----------|-----------------|---5-----8---|-------------| Rhythm 1 B |---------------------------------|---------------------------------------| D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------------| A |-5-5-5-0-0-0-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-7-|-8-8-8-10-10-10-12-12-10-10-10-8-8-8-77| E |---------------------------------|---------------------------------------| B |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|end of D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|rhythm A |-5-5-5-0-0-0-5-5-7-7-7-3-3-3-7-7-|-7-7-7-8-8-8-7-7-5-----sl.--sl.--| #1 E |---------------------------------|-----------------------5/--14\---| Repeat rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 B |----------------------|-----------------------| D |----------------------|-----------------------| A |----------------------|-----------------------| E |-1-1--1-1--1-1--1-1---|-1-1--1-1--1-1--1-1--0-| B |-H------------------------------|--H---------------------------| End of D |/\------------------------------|-/\---------------------------| Rhythm A |3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-|-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----| #2 E |--------------------------------|---------------------------0--| Repeat 3 first bars of rhythm 2 then : B |--H------------------------|------/5---3------|-----sl.-------| D |-/\------------------------|----3-sl.---------|-----/7--5-----| A |-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---3---|-1----------------|---5-----------| E |---------------------------|--------------x-5-|-3---------x-3-| Take me a-way into your B |-----------------|-------------|------/5---3-----|-----sl.-------| D |-----------------|-------------|----3-sl.--------|-----/7--5-----| A |-----------------|-5----5---3--|-1---------------|---5-----------| E |-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-------------|-------------x-5-|-3---------x-3-| innocent dreams Maybe I'd see what it all B |---------------------------------|---------------| D |---------------------------------|---------------| A |---------------------------------|---------------| E |-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-5--3---1---0--| means....
