What is this song, with the rolling bass line?

Sign in to disble this ad
i hear it on classic rock radio all the time, its got that rolling bass line that if the root were A, it would go up to C then D, and then roll on A a while then go to G and come back to A. but its really long, and i thought i remember hearing it was by foghat, but im not sure.

anyone know what song it is?

Rolling?? I have no idea what you mean, but Foghat is great and the only song I've ever heard on the radio by Foghat would be Slow Ride.

...and yes I am aware that this was a useless post.

Lyrics?

Do you know any of the words(you can just say them if you don't want to sing)?
Just a stab in the dark would be 'Walk on the wild side', by Lou Reed.

Don't forget 'Fool for the city'.

ok maybe it was a bad idea to say i thought i remembered hearing it as by foghat, my memory blows.

its not slowride or fool for the city. the bass line is straight eighth notes but it keeps moving forward, its a really nice feel, and its just the bass and drums and eventually theres a guitar solo ever it, and then theres this part where it changes up and it sounds kind of regal but due to my inability to describe things that may have been a bad idea to say that.

try this estimate of a tab, this is from memory, its not right, and its in the wrong key probably



G-----------------------------------
D-----------------------------------
A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-5-5-
E-----------------------------------

G-----------------------------------
D-----------------------------------
A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------
E---------------------------0-0-3-0-

and i believe it repeats those two phrases
