i'll take it

i find the band to be complex in its simplicity......you gotta be a really tight band to sound that loose.....

it's a-d-a-d-e, with the transitions to each note a 1/2 step walk up (as in Ab > A....Db > D)

then the chorus (same deal)

a-d-e-g (take up to the g on the a, then the low G on the E string...then the funky clav part comes in...)
then the a-whoo-hooo....

a-d.....a-d....a-d

it's all in the feel. Use your ears. Play along. Super easy.

My band is working this up - the bass part is pretty straightforward - the harder part is getting into a good groove with the drummer.

It is all in the feel, and it is simple... especially if you've got a drummer like Levon! This is a cool piece of instruction/history on this song:

Can you send me also../ Tim

 

[DeanT]

Just a suggestion...

Why not post it to a download site so everyone can get access to it. It would make it easier for us and for you.

Just FYI.

I'd also like a copy. I've got it down, for the most part, but I'd like to get the chorus a little tighter. Thank you.

 

[Zootsuitbass]

There's a F#min right before the G on the walk up...

I know that part. I need help with the walk lines in the chorus. Thank you very much, though.

 

[Stranger Danger]

If anybody got the tab please send it to me too. Thanks!

Shovelbone, if you do dig it up I'd really appreciate a copy. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more. It's like a jug saw puzzle....all these very simple parts fitting together just right. Proves how complex "simple" can be when done right.
