can someone tab China Groove by the Doobie Brothers for me?

[KSDbass]

Everywhere I look, the tab is wrong, I think. The worst part is, it's the same tab! I think TB has the same tab in the tab archive too...

Why not transcribe it yourself?

Funny you bring this song up now. A couple weeks ago I used my shiny new Tascam bass trainer to slow down this song so I could learn it. It took me 5-6 hours to get it down, but the feeling of satisfaction was worth it.

I could help you out if you're having trouble in a certain part or something but I don't think I could tab the whole song though.

I don't really know how to explain it, it's the little fills in between when the bassist is playing with the guitar, so it's pretty much follow the guitar, bass fill, guitar, then bass fill, then guitar again and it starts over... that probably didn't make any sense at all...

Try this to start:

Bass comes in at 7 1/2 bars
- = 8th note

G|--------|--------|----9---|-----------|
D|--------|--------|---9-9--|-----91011-|
A|------7-|77-7----|77----7-|-----------|
E|----79-9|----79-7|--------|10-9-------|

G|--------|--------|----9---|---------|
D|--------|--------|---9-9--|---------|
A|77----7-|77-7----|77----7-|-----0~~~|
E|----79-9|----79-7|--------|10-9-----|

G|--------|97-------|--------|----9---|----------|
D|--------|--97-----|--------|---9-9--|----91011-|
A|~~~~~~~~|-----109-|77-7----|77----7-|----------|
E|--------|-------10|----79-7|--------|10-9------|

G|--------|--------|----9---|----------|
D|--------|--------|---9-9--|----91011-|
A|77----7-|77-7----|77----7-|----------|
E|----79-9|----79-7|--------|10-9------|

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|----6---|--------|--------|
A|77----7-|--------|6-9--96-|--------|--------|
E|----79-7|99-99-7-|-------7|55555678|~~~~~~~~|

Well I'm talkin' 'bout China Grove...
G|--------|----------|--------|----------|--------|--------|
D|--------|-----91011|--------|-----91011|--------|--------|
A|77-7--7-|----------|77-7--7-|----------|77777777|7-------|
E|----79-9|-1010-9---|----79-9|-1010-9---|--------|--------|

That's all I can do for now, hope this helps.

I think I messed up the following note in my tab:

This:

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|----6---|--------|--------|
A|77----7-|--------|6-9--96-|--------|--------|
E|----79-7|99-99-7-|-------7|55555678|~~~~~~~~|

should be:

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|----6---|--------|--------|
A|77----7-|--------|6-9--96-|--------|--------|
E|----79-7|99-99-7-|-------9|55555678|~~~~~~~~|

At least that's what I think anyway.


Have you tried my tab at all?
