Send "Bad company" Ringtone to your Cell 
From: Steve Throne [sthrone@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, December 29, 1997 6:20 PM Song: 'Bad Company' Artist: by Bad Company Source: from the album 'Bad Company' (I love saying that ;-) ) OK, hereıs my attempt at tabbing Bad Company. Itıs kinda tough since itıs mostly bass and piano but what the hell! Iıll give it a shot. Itıs really sketchy right now but it might at least be a start....then again, maybe not! If anyone figures out the bass line, please send it to me!! Intro Piano Riff - Play quite a few times [F#] [C#] [D#] E------------------ B--11----6-----8--- G--11----6-----8--- D--11----6-----8--- A------------------ E------------------ Piano during verse [A#]Comp[C#]a[D#]ny [F#]Always [F]on [C#]the [D#]run E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- [A#]Dest[C#]i[D#]ny [F#]Ooooh [F]is the[C#]ris[D#]ing E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- suuuunnnnnnn........ E------------------------ B--6--x--6--x--6----8---- G--6--x--6--x--6----8---- D--6--x--6--x--6----8---- A------------------------ E------------------------ Repeat this verse riff as many times as necessary Note* For all these piano parts you may want to just play just the D and G strings. Chorus - I think this actually is a guitar, not a piano!! These chords may not be right, but they seem to fit pretty well. [D#] [F#] [G#]Baaaaaaaadddd [A#]Company E-------------------------------------- B--------------4-----------------6----- G--8-x---------5-----------------7----- D--8-x--4-x----6-----------------8----- A--6-x--4-x----6-----------------8----- E-------2-x----4-----------------6----- I wonıt [D#]de... yy[C#] yyy[D#] E----------------------------------------- B---------8--------6--------8------------- G---------8--------6--------8------------- D---------8--------6--------8------8-8---- A---------6--------4--------6------6-6---- E----------------------------------------- [F#]Badddd Bad [G#] Com... E------------------------------- B--2---------------4------------ G--3---------------5------------ D--4---------------6------------ A--4---------------6------------ E--2---------------4------------ - For all these chorus chords, you will have to do some picking and strumming which I didnıt tab out completely. day I [D#]die ii[C#] iii[D#] E----------------------------------------- B---------8--------6--------8------------- G---------8--------6--------8------------- D---------8--------6--------8------------- A---------6--------4--------6------------- E----------------------------------------- It also sounds good to slide from that C# to the D# Play the intro piano riff once then back into the verse After the 2nd chorus is this part which I tabbed out below. This leads into the solo. E---------------------------------------------------- B---8/6---6-----11--10---6--4------11--10---6-------- G---8/6---6-----11--10---6--5------11--10---6-------- D---8/6---6-----11--10---6--6------11--10---6-------- A---6/4---4------9---8---4--6-------9---8---4-------- E---------------------------4------------------------ Solo D# pentatonic minor E--------------------------------------------------- B-------------------14------------------------------ G--------11-13b(15)----(15)r13p11----11------------- D--13~~~---------------------------------13~~~------ A--------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------- E-----------------------14b(15)-(15)r14---11--11~~~- B--------------------11----------------------------- G----------11--------------------------------------- D--11--13------13~~~-------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------- B-(15)r14p11-------------11-------------- G------------13-11----13----13-11-------- D---------------------------------13~~~-- A---------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------- E--------14----------14-16-16-- B-----14----16-14-16----------- G-/15-------------------------- D------------------------------ A------------------------------ E------------------------------ E--16b(18)-16b(18)-16b(18)-16b(18)---14------------- B----------------------------------------16~~~------ G--------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------- E--------14----------------14------- B--14-16------16~----14h16----16~~\- G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A----------------------------------- E----------------------------------- E------14b(15)----14-11-------------------------------- B--11-------------------14-11-------11-14--11--14b(13)- G--------------------------------13-------------------- D------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------ That's pretty much it. Hope this sounds ok. The way I like to play it is to set my amp for a fair amount of distortion. For the piano part, I like to use the rhythym pickup but I back the volume off to about 3 and sometimes back off on the tone also. Then for the chorus, I just flip to the treble pickup with max volume and distortion. Good Luck! Steve Throne st94h3xt@post.drexel.edu or sthrone@earthlink.net
