"My Size" (Bass)
by John Entwistle
From the album "Smash Your Head Against The Wall"
Written by John Entwistle, 1971, Sundazed Music.
Bass tab, transcribed by Jeremy D (fearofscissors@aol.com), with help from
David Goodwin and Gary L.'s original guitar transcription.
It may not be definitive, but at least it's a start.
This is my first tab, and I'm pretty damn proud of it.
The key is: h=hammer-on
p=pull off
...=hold/let ring 'til the next note
The intro and main riff:
G|------------|------------|------------|--------------|
D|------------|------------|------------|----------5---|
A|--5h7-7-7-7-|--5h7-7-7-7-|--5h7-7-7-7-|------5h7---7-|
E|------------|------------|------------|--5h7---------|
...done in the verses as well.
Then, there's the bridge; it's easiest to listen to the recording for timing.
G|---------|-----------|-------------|------------|--------
D|---------|-----------|-------------|-0...-------|0-------
A|---------|-1...------|1...---------|------------|--------
E|3...----1|-----------|-------------|------------|--------
"Now..." "round..." "You never.." "...ground."
G|--------|------------|-------|--------|
D|0...----|------------|-------|--------|
A|--------|0......-----|0...---|--0...-2|
E|--------|------------|-------|--------|
"Make me...small, wish I was...tall"
Then right back to the verse, then chorus:
G|--------|------------|--------------|----------------------------|
D|--------|3-----------|-0...---------|----------0...--------------|
A|-0...---|------------|-----------0--|-2...-------------------0...|
E|--------|------------|--------------|----------------------------|
"I'm gonna bring you... my size." "One of...gonna make ya fall."
G|--------|------------|------------|
D|--------|3...--------|-0----------|
A|-0...---|------------|-----0...---|
E|--------|------------|------------|
"I'm gonna bring you... my size,"
G|--------------------------------------|
D|---------------2...--0------------2---|
A|-2---------------------------0--------|
E|--------------------------------------|
"Smash your head...against the wall!
Continue with the necessary riffs (verse, bridge, chorus).
Improvise as you please. At the end, amid much crashy noise and such, there's a "Boris-the-Spider" type run--
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--7-6-5-4-3---0...--|
E|------------3-------|
...and there you have it. Enjoy! Apologies for my excessive use of "then."
