Primus - Here Come the Bastards

Tabbed by SyberOptic.

   S = slap
   P = pop
   v / ^  = strum; downstroke/upstroke
   x = muted
   / and \ = slide; up and down
   h = hammer-on

The intro is tapped, all the rest is strummed, except for the
occasional slap of the E string which, if you listen to the song, is
easy to place.

 Intro:  (Tapped)

Occasionally, at the end of the song Les just repeats the pre-verse,
this time reversing the accent of the 7/8 slide.

I wish to dispute what you have.

That's how I think it is.

Primus - Here Come the Bastards

Tabbed by Matt Wilkinson.

Tapped intro: tapped with your index and ring fingers of your left hand.

G||---17-17-17-17/18---|
D||o--15-15-15-15/16--o|
A||o------------------o|
E||--------------------|

1st Riff:
People tab this way too high.  On Videoplasty, you can clearly see his hand
and finger positions.

G||--4--4--4--4/5--5\4--|
D||--4--4--4--4/5--5\4--| Repeated a few times
A||--2--2--2--2/3--3\2--|
E||---------------------|

THEN he goes up...
G||--9--9--9--9/10--10\9--|
D||--9--9--9--9/10--10\9--| Repeated a few times
A||--7--7--7--7/8----8\7--|
E||-----------------------|

2nd Riff:
Lyrics start, he goes up a fret...

G||--4--4--4--4/5--5\4--4--4--4--4/5--4\5--5--5--...
D||--2--2--2--4/5--5\4--2--2--2--4/5--4\5--5--5--...
A||--2--2--2--2/3--3\2--2--2--2--2/3--2\3--3--3--...

        ...--3--3/4--4\3--3--3--3--3--|
        ...---------------------------|

3rd Riff:
There are a few varients to this--I'm too lazy to tab them all.  You'll
figure it out.  Sometimes Les leves out a chord slide, or something like
that.

G||-----9/10--10--9--9/10--10--|

Primus - Here Come the Bastards

Tabbed by Jared Duncan.

The intro bass is tapped with the left hand and goes like this.

 G----16--16---16--16/17--17\16
 D----14--14----14-14/15--15\14
 A---------------------------------------
 E---------------------------------------
Then just repeat it until everyone comes in.  Then it goes like this.


G--------4---4---4--4/5--5\4----4---4----4--4/5--5\4-----4--4----4--4/5--5\4-----
D--------2---2---2---2/3--3\2----2---2---2---2/3--3\2----2---2---2---2/3--3\2----
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----0--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, you get the idea.  Then it just switches to this.

 G----9---9---9---9/10--10\9
 D----9---9---9---9/10--10\9
 A----7---7---7---7/8-----8\7
 E--------------------------------

The verse is played using the version on the d and g strings, only
sliding up yet once more to the 4th fret on the d and the 6th fret on
the g string.
