TAB POST - Arkells - Oh, the Boss is Coming!
 

It has been a while since I have posted any new tabs here so I figured I would make one for this song. The one I saw online is close but not quite and i figured since I learned the song for our cover set I might as well help some others out. I don't know if these guys are famous or Canadian famous but if you hadn't heard of them this track is worth listening to for those into blues rock. As usual if anybody who uses this could spread it to any tab sites they might use I would appreciate it, I upload to ultimate-guitar and talkbass only. Just please credit me where due.

OH, THE BOSS IS COMING! - Arkells
From the album - Jackson Square
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The timing and structure are not 100% accurate, this is an outline, you need
to listen to where the parts go and proper timing. Some parts have more notes
that notated, listen for 1/8's notes and such.

The previous tab on here was pretty close but I thought it could be improved.
Here is my take on it, I hope it helps.

The song is pretty straight forward. You use the alternate verse part for the
first 1/2. You should be able to hear where he changes. The always hit on the
same note, so listen for it. He uses a different ending with the main riff
after the first chorus, listen for the change. I notated the main riff before
it just so you can see it a little more clearly. The song closes on an E but
I think it is just guitar and drums on the last hit.
