CALM LIKE A BOMB
Rage Against the Machine
This is a correction of the tab posted by A.B. (purple150@hotmail.com)
Tabbed by Shor Bowman (abowman@sas.upenn.edu)
A.B. did a nice job with the tab, but the introductory bass solo was
wrong. I don't know what kind of professional tabbed that intro, but
it was clearly in the wrong key. This is the redone version, in the
correct key, and I'm pretty sure it's 100% accurate. Mail me if you
have any questions, comments, etc.
P.S.-I credit A.B. with the tablature for the chorus/guitar solo.
This is the solo at the beginning of the song:
G------0-2------------0--0---------------------------------------|
D---2-4-----4-2-0-2-4------2-0-----0-2-4--0-------0-2--2---------|
A------------------------------4-0----------4-2-4--------4-2-1---|
E---------------------------------------------------------------2|
G-----------------------------0-2------------0--0----------------|
D-----0-----2---0--4-0-2--2-4------4-2-0-2-4------2-0------------|
A--2----2-4---4---------------------------------------4--0-------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------|
This is played during the verse:
G-------------5/7----------------5/7--|
D------9-7-9--------------9-7-9-------|
A-------------------------------------|
E--7------------------7---------------|
Sometimes:
G---------------------------|
D-----9-7-9--9-7-9--9-7-9---|
A---------------------------|
E-7-------------------------|
This is played during the "chorus":
G----------------------------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------5-5-------------------------|
E--5-7-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-5-7-5-7--7--7-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|
A-------5---------5-----------5-------5---|
E-5-7-x---7-x-x-x----7--5-7-x---7-5-----7-|
This is played during the guitar solo:
G-----------------------------9-7-9-------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-5-5-5-5-7--7---------7--5-5-5-5-|
E-----------------------------------------------|
That's it; enjoy! The dashes imply the spacing between notes :)
