The following icons are the ones I use: V-Down stroke for chords (flamenco) ^-Up stroke for chords (flamenco) s-slap That's about it. Intro V ^ V ^ G--------4--5--6--0-- Then just the Chords G--4--5--7--6--- D--------4--5--6--0-- played x6 D--4--5--7--6--- A-2/9\2--2--3--4--0-- A--2--3--5--4--- E-----------------0-- E--------------- Verse/Chorus V ^ V G--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- D--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- A--2--3--4---------2s-3s--2--3--4----------2s--5--4--- E-----------4s-5s--------------------4s-5s------------ That's it, except for a few variants, which are easy to pick up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - John the Fisherman Correction by Boogada. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- D--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- A--2--3--4---------2s-3s--2--3--4----------2s--5--4--- E-----------4s-5s--------------------4s-5s------------ As far as I know, the above tab should look like this: G--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- D--4--5--6----------------4--5--6--------------7--6--- A------------------2--3--------------------2---------- E-----------4--5---------------------4--5------------- The notes between the chords aren't slapped and the chords consist of only two strings as they are shown. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - John the Fisherman Correction by Mr. Krinkle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last part of the verse should read g-----------7-6-- d-----------7-6-- a------2-3------- e----3----------- And the notes not strummed are, OF COURSE, not slapped! He uses his famous full hand pluck near the bridge, like pluckin with all his fingers (3, i-m-r), to get a harder sound. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - John the Fisherman Tabbed by Andy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S= Slap ^= Stroke up v= Stroke down Main Riff: v ^ v v ^ v v ^ G--4-5-6------------4-5-6--------7-6- D--4-5-6------------4-5-6--------7-6- A------------2-3--------------2------ E--------4-3--------------4-3-------- s s s s s s s " I'll live and die a fisherman ": v ^ v v ^ v v ^ G--4-5-6----------4-5-6-------7-6- D--4-5-6----------4-5-6-------7-6- A------------2-3----------------- E--------4-3--------------4-3---- s s s s s s Just take away the h&c-note on the A-string!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMUS - John the Fisherman Tabbed by Erk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As heard on Suck on This.
