Anyone have the tab for this?

I thought I knew Marvin's version, but I don't, and I need it for a gig tomorrow.

Any help?

My only problem is when he changes from Bb to Ab, I can't really hear what he's doing.

I can go dig out my White Pages if it's not to late?

Send me an email address if you want it?

Its all good folks. 9mm Mike helped with an all instrumental version of the song. Below are some notes that might prove beneficial to anyone else trying to learn this song and searches TB.

For those wondering, I used this chord chart for the song, which is why it kept not sounding right.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...pevine_crd.htm

For the lines:

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

The chart lists Bb as the dominant chord for those lines. Its not. The chord is Ab if anyone else is trying to find out the bass line by the chart.

Also with the change from Ebm to Ab it should be (Ebm to) Abm instead with the next line (Don't you know...) going from a quick chromatic kinda run from Ab to Bb and jumps quickly to Bbsus4 before going to the main riff in Ebm.

Hope this helps someone eventually.

Although to late for GeneralElectric's gig last night, I did go ahead and scan in the BTWP version last night. If you want it shoot me a PM.

Jim,

I'm reluctant to speak to the accuracy of the Bass Tab White Pages. As a relative nOOb I don't have a lot of experience.

However, the few tunes I've worked on seem pretty good to me.

If you still want it just PM me an email address.
Then you can tell me if it's accurate

.Hal
