Van Halen Bass Tabs by Nerf Herder

"Van Halen" Bass Tab
Artist: Nerf Herder
Album: Nerf Herder

This is a fairly simple song to play.  All I have to go from is a 30
second video clip and the 2 times I heard the full song on the radio, so
there may be more to it than what I have here.  I'm sure there are corrections
to be made, but this sounds pretty good.  The main riff is:

g-----------------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------------
a------2-3-5--5-5-0-1-2--2-2-2-3----3-2-0------
e-3--3------------------------------------3----

This isn't to scale or anything, so listen to the song to get the strumming
pattern.  The solo mid-song is a great place to figure it out.  There is
another part that has a slight variation at the end:

g---------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------
a------2-3-5--5-5-0-1-2--2-2-2-3-2-3-2-0------
e-3--3-----------------------------------3----

That's it (I think).

Comments, questions, corrections, flames, etc. are welcome.
