THE RUNGS TORN FROM THE LADDER CAN'T REACH THE
TUMOR
ONE GOD, ONE MARKET, ONE TRUTH, ONE CONSUMER
JUST A QUIET PEACEFUL DANCE
FOR THINGS WE WILL NEVER HAVE
BASS TAB
Down Rodeo by Rage Against The Machine
tabbed by r.allen.canterbury
Notes: I'm pretty certain this tab is *wrong*. But there are some tricky
things to figure out...like the high-pitched harmonic sounds I put in.
Not
sure whether that's guitar or bass. The notes like <4>. mean play a
harmonic
but make the note short (staccato) so it's sort of a harmonic "click". In
general this is how I play it, but I would love to get improvements for
it.
