Lucky Day In Hell (Ver 2) Bass Tabs - Eels @ BigBassTabs.com

Bass Tab: Lucky Day In Hell
  Artist: Eels
   Album: Screm 2 Soundtrack
  Tabbed: Rattman

This is one of the few songs with very little guitar playing in it that
sounds cool. This band reminds me of Beck alot. This tab may be a bit
off,
i think maybe they play in dropped D tuning but this is standard tuning
and sounds
good with the recording.

Lyrics:

Mamma gripped on to the milkmans hand
then she finally gave birth
years go by and still i dont know
who shall inherit this earth
and no one will know my name until its on a stone
whoa

this could be your lucky day
in hell
never know who it could be
at your doorbell
in hell
this could be your lucky day
in hell

Waking up with an ugly face
winston churchill in drag
looking forward to eternal imbrace
or just a tired old gag
am i just a walking bag of chewed up dust and bones
whoa

this could be your lucky day
in hell
never know who it could be
at your doorbell
in hell
this could be your lucky day
in hell
in hell

father teresa you cant make me into you
i never wanna be like you
why cant you see
its me
you've got to let me go

this could be your lucky day
in hell
never know who it could be
at your doorbell
in hell
this could be your lucky day
in hell
in hell
in hell

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
