Song:Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24
Artist:Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Album:Christmas Eve and Other Stories
Tabbed by J. Campbell
Standard tuning

A couple of friends and I were learning this song together last Christmas
(they both play guitar and I play bass).  In short order, I found that
there's not a whole lot of actual bass in this song.  So I also tabbed out
some other parts where a bass could fill in, you know, if you don't have an
orchestra at your disposal.  Anyway.

Intro
This part is played by a cello on the album.
G|-----4-4-------------------4-|
D|---------7-5-4-------4-5-7---|
A|-5-7-----------7-5-7---------|
E|-----------------------------|
(0:17)
This part is a round, played by a flute and a cello, a total of four times.
G|-----4-4-------------|
D|---------7-5-4-------|
A|-5-7-----------7-5-7-|
E|---------------------|

(0:33)
Through the crescendo, just keep hitting an E - the one on the A string
(fret 7) sounds best.  On the album version it's just one time per measure,
but I found that a "1, 1 2 3 4" pattern sounds cool too.
(1:04)
This is the only real bass in the song.
G|--------------------------------------9-9-9-9----|---|----------|-------|
D|-----------------------10-10-10-12-10---------9~-|-9-|-9--9--9--|-9-9-9-|
A|-7-7-7-9-9-10-10-12-10---------------------------|---|----------|-------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|---|----------|-------|

(1:15)
A piano plays this part.  Low notes though.  Ripe for usurping.
  4x
G|-------------------------|
D|-------------------------|
A|-7-5-3-3-2-0-2-0---------|
E|-----------------3-3-2-0-|
(1:47)
After that, there's a piano interlude.  In the background there's some
synth-sounding string thing going on, which sounds okay on bass.  If you
need something to do.
G|-9-7------|---4---4---4---4-|
D|-----10-9-|-5---5---5---5---|
A|----------|-----------------|
E|----------|-----------------|
(1:57)
Immediately following that, go back to the E.

(2:56)
Resume playing the trusty old E in the same pattern until about 3:04, where
you just play on the strike notes with the guitar.
