Stop by Against Me


Against Me!
Stop!
From the album New Wave!

Sounds best played with a pick on a fender P bass!

Ok, so this is the Chorus part.
The timing is so bizarre. 
But the bass is easy to hear in this part.

--D-- (2 bars long)
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|-5--5-5---0--3/5--5-5-5---0--3/5-|
E|---------------------------------|

--Bb-- (2 bars long)
G|---------------------------------|
D|-8--8-8-----6/8--8--8-8-8------6-|
A|----------8------------------8---|
E|---------------------------------|

--G-- (Again 2 bars long)
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|--3--3-3----0--1/3---3--3-3-0-1--|

--"Ya gotta make a serious decision"--
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---/8--8-8---7-7-7---3-3---5-5---|
E|---------------------------------|


Right, this Verse part is not so easy to hear.
Basically he just plays the root note 
and it's 3rd 4th and 5th. I can't hear excactly what
he's doing, so I think it is forgivable to just 
improvise this part! I will show you an example...


--G-- ("It should be me up there...")
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|-----2------3-2--------2------5-3-2-|
E|-3-3---3--3-----3---3-3--3--3-------|

--D-- ("Me on your TV in your...")
G|-------------------|------------------|
D|------3--------3---|-----3--3-3-3-----| This second part 
A|--5-5---5-3-5----5-|-5-5------------5-| follows the lead
E|-------------------|------------------| guitar riff!!!!!

--G-- ("Could be me jet setting...")
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|-----2------3-2--------2------5-3-2-|
E|-3-3---3--3-----3---3-3--3--3-------|

--Bb-- ("appear live in concert...")
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|------5-------6-5----|
E|--6-6---6---6-----6--|

--C-- ("Tickets sold out...")
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|------7-------10-8-7--|
E|--8-8---8---8---------|

All the verses and choruses are played 
the same, apart from the last verse which
just lasts a little bit longer.
The only other section comes after the last 
verse before the chorus...

G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|--5--3--1--0--|
E|--------------|


Then the last "gotta make a serious decision"
goes like this...

G|--------------------------------|-----|
D|--------------------------------|-----|
A|--/8--8-8---7/10-10--3-3---5-5--|--5--|
E|--------------------------------|-----|

Excellent Song!
Sounds Awesome when played right!
So, good luck!
Cheers... Jordon!
