Song: "I'm Housin"
Artist: Rage Against the Machine
Album: Renegades

regular tuning

^ = bend up
h = hammer on
p = pull off

here is the main bass riff that opens the song

|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|--0--15-12-11-10-7-6--3h5p3-0--|

this is a second version played every other time
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|--0--15-12-11-10-7-6\-----0-0--|


this is played over the bass riff shown above
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|--9^--12^----9^-9^-9^--12^--|  here, Morello uses
|--9^--12^----9^-9^-9^--12^--|  a whammy pedal type thing,
|----------------------------|  which can be very closely
|----------------------------|  imitated by just bending the notes

     "...because I'm housin'"
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|--------------------9--9----|
|--------------------7--7----|
|--------------------0--0----|

then I guess you can call this the bridge
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9----12--|
|--7--7----7--7----7--7----7--7----10--|
|-(0)(0)--(0)(0)--(0)(0)--(0)(0)----x--|
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   letting the open E ring here
   is ESSENTIAL to the sound

I consider this next part to be the main riff

|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--7--7--------5----5------------|
|--0--0--5--7----------7--5--3~--|
