COMEDOWN - Bush
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: Chad (m_fold@hotmail.com)

There are already a few tabs available here for this song, but none of them are quite
complete. PLEASE NOTE: While most of this is correct, I only offer these tabs to you
as the version my band and I play. This is probably not note-for-note the way it is
played by Bush.

Main Riff (bass guitar--I also play this on an electric when I play this live with my
band):
This is played on the intro and throughout the verses.

G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|2-----0--2--5--5--2--0-----|
E|---2-----------------------|

NOTE: The D can also be played on the open D string,
but I choose to play the fifth fret of A to prevent any sustain.
I recommend playing it the way it is tabbed above.


[Intro]

Guitar One (starting at about 0:14)

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-----------------9--9p7--7-------|
D|7h9--9--7--9--9------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

Basically, just play around with these notes.
It's not difficult, so I'm not going to bother tabbing all of it.

Intro-Guitar Two (starting at about 0:38)
Basically, try to get a lot of feedback.
I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but if you can get some sustain
from any of the following notes to feed through, it should sound okay.
If you can't get them to feed back, use some vibrato. That's always fun.


e|--5~~--|--7~~--|--14~~--|
B|-------|-------|--------|
G|-------|-------|--------|
D|-------|-------|--------|
A|-------|-------|--------|
E|-------|-------|--------|


Guitar Riff One (at about 0:48)
e|------0-0--------0--0--------0--0-------------------|
B|------0-0--------0--0--------0--0-------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|9--9-------7--7--------4--4--------4--4-/-5--5--5---| Play Twice
A|9--9-------7--7--------4--4--------4--4-/-5--5--5---|
E|7--7-------5--5--------2--2--------2--2-/-3--3--3---|

Bass goes back into Main Riff.


Lyrics:

Love and hate, Get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, Let it fade
Who was there to take your place?

No one knows, Never will, Mostly me, Mostly You
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--9----------------7---------------4---------5-----------------|This is basically just Guitar Riff One
A|--9----------------7---------------4---------5-----------------|
E|--7----------------5---------------2---------3-----------------|
Do you say? Do you do? When it all Comes down


[Chorus]

(strum this-There is also a lead part throughout the chorus, but it is not vital):
`Cause I don't wanna Come back down from This cloud / It's taken me
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|7--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|7---------------------7---------------------5------------------------------|
A|5---------------------7---------------------5------------------------------|
E|----------------------5---------------------3------------------------------|

All this time to find out what I need
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|
G|7--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|7------------------7---------------5---------------------------------------|
A|5------------------7---------------5---------------------------------------|
E|-------------------5---------------3---------------------------------------|

I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

(Guitar Riff One)


[Verse 2]

(Repeat the progression for verse one):
There is no blame, Only shame
When you beg you just complain
The more I come, more I try
All police are paranoid
(Riff One begins playing here)
So am I, So's the future
So are you, be a creature
Do you say? Do you do?
When it all comes down

[Chorus]

(Solo: Sorry, can't tab this for you. We improv most of the solos we play)

(Repeat verse one)


[Chorus]

Chorus riff is repeated throughout the rest of the song with a small lead part.

That's basically the entire song. My apologies if something is incorrect (this is
the first time I've ever tabbed anything.
Good luck with it.

!!windows and into the NOTEPAD, NOT WRITE, or anything else, print it !!
!!out on NOTEPAD or the tabliture will come out wierd. !!

This song isn't that easy when you add in all the rythm fills. But if you
don't use the rythm fills, then it is pretty easy. I will attempt to put
as many rythm fills in as I could. Oh, I've also posted the first bass
guitar riff because it is pretty cool. Have fun!

************
bass guitar
************

verse: (it is the part that is played as soon the song starts)
is played during the verse while guitar plays all these little fills.
G |----------------------------------------|
D |----------------------------------------|play a lot of times
A |-----------0------------------4-3-2-0---|
E |---0-2-2-2---2-2-2--0-2-2-2-------------|

The rest of the song for bass is easily played. The bass just plays the
same as what the guitar plays, it just plays the note of each chord being
played. That simply means to play the top note of each chord.

play this a couple of times, once again, this is how I play it. the chords
are correct, but you can modify it to sound like however you want it to
sound.
=============================================
chorus:
these are the chords for the chorus
D |--5--| A |--5--| G |--3--|
|--5--| |--5--| |--3--|
|--7--| |--5--| |--3--|
|--7--| |--7--| |--5--|
|--5--| |--7--| |--5--|
|--5--| |--5--| |--3--|

chorus is D-A-G, that is it for the chorus
==============================================
notations:
h=hammer on note
p=pull off note
v=vibrato
/\=bend (that is a gradual bend, bend up 1/2 step then bring it back down)
/=bend up 1/2 step

fill #1 (it starts at about .13 or .14 seconds into the song)
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |--------------------------------/-\------------------------------------|
G |--------------11p9-------------11-11-9v--------------------------------|
D |--7h9-9-x-x-9-------7h9-9-x-x-9----------7h9-9-x-x-9-9-7h9--7h9-9-x-x-9|
A |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
REMEMBER: IF YOU DON'T PRINT IT OUT ON THE NOTEPAD IN WINDOWS, THE
BENDS AND NOTES AND CHORDS WILL NOT COME OUT LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO!
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |-11-11-9v--7---7-x-x-7---9-7--7h9-9-x-x-9--11v-7---7-x-x-7---9-7--7h9-9|

Most of it is wrong, but it is close enough, work with timing and you can
add or take out what you want. This is just what I play and it when I play
this song and it sounds good. Do what you want.
======================
fill #2 at about 3.03 minutes in the song

the notes in the parenthesis, i am not sure how many times that you would
play those, work with it and figure it out
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G |--11h12-12-x-x--9p7--11s12-x-x-14p12-12-9---(11-11h12--11-11h12--11----|

E |--------------------|

D |--------------------|

E |--------------------|
Once again, it isn't perfect, but close enough to get by and sounds good,
if you don't like it, then just figure something to put in there by
yourself. but if you work with it, i'm sure that it will turn out fine.
and if you do want to figure it out by yourself, then you could use the
notes above, those are the right notes but not correct order, but IT SOUNDS
FINE YOU COULD LEAVE IT!

Lyrics

love and hate get it wrong
she cut me right back down to size
sleep the day let it fade
who was there to take your place
no one knows never will
mostly me but mostly you
what do you say do you you

i don't want to come back down from this cloud
taken me all this time to find out what i need
and i'm doing fine now
there is no blame only shame
when you beg you just complain
more i come more i try
all police are paranoid
so am i - so's the future
so are you - be a creature
what do you say do you do when it all comes down
i don't wnat ot come back down from this cloud
taken me all this time to find out what i need
