Hair Stew Tab

by Bob Mould


'Hair Stew', the happiest recorded song since 'Afternoon Delight'
by the Starlite Vocal Band, has an easy bass tab,with two parts. 
Here's how I'd play them:

Verse-type part 


G 9--9--9--9---|11--11--11--11--|
D -------------|----------------|
A -10-10-10-10-|--10--10--10--10|    Repeat
E -------------|----------------|

or, an alternative fingering:

G --0--0--0--0-|--0--0--0--0|
D 14-14-14-14--|16-16-16-16-|
A -------------|------------|    Repeat
E -------------|------------|

and then:


G -7-7-7-13|-13-13-13-7|
D 0-0-0-0--|0--0--0--0-| Repeat
A ---------|-----------|
E ---------|-----------|

Notice that Bob switches from D to G# and back on the G-string on
the upbeat, creating a "stew-y" kind of feel.

Note:  This can be played on guitar if you tune your low E-string
down to D and use the first fingering on the verse part.
