** This is a song I first heard back in middle school. I was really expanding my musical horizons by listening to iheart radio, rather than the FM radio I had with my boombox. I found tons of new music this way (like a lot of sting's solo stuff, stevie wonder, misfits, type o negative, you name it, Steve Perry). I loved this one and actually bought it on iTunes for $1.29. I even tried to learn it on guitar. Remember, that this was back when I couldn't even use a pick and didn't know anything about guitar except that it had frets and I could play something that sounded like iron man on it. Well, I wanted to play this a couple years ago, but when I switched computers, I forgot about it (like I did with a lot of songs). I didn't transfer any of my old tabs to the new one since I had a terrible organization system. I figured I could start fresh on the new pc and keep it organized (and I do!). Well, I started bringing over those old tabs, and found this one. It was really bad, so I've fixed it up and it's ready to go.

As far as the tabbing goes, it was a bit tricky, but not as bad as some others. The bass plays basically the root of the chord in every bar, however the rhythm is hard to hear because the bass is hard to hear in some spots. Looking at the Ed Sullivan show performance (the only live one I trust), The bassist, Chas Chandler, used a pick and you could see his rhythm on occasion, but it would usually last well for that section.

0:04 - plays at the very beginning, with a pick
0:47 - plays a lot of 8th notes that you don't hear on the track the first time. That's because they shortened it for the live show, so this is right before the solo.
1:49 - oh mother - back to held notes for the full bar
2:53 - same, and then tremolo the last note

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

When I was a kid in the 80s all we had were tab books....your videos are great...They especially help me with rhythm patterns ....which I need a lot of help...and you’re always spot on ....I wish we had videos like this back them...so much easier to learn this way !!! Thanks

[ThunderBassistJay]

One of the first songs I played on bass. My then 13 yo son played the guitar part. Those were good times. 😊

[fayaadbsa]

Now I understand what is bass used for

[schubertdsouza]

Love your Bass covers Sam and I use them intensively...very true to the original. Just a bit of observation that your bass track is a bit ahead of the backing track. Slight correction (nudge the bass track left) would help it sound just in the pocket.

[Contrabaixista]

Hi, Im from Brazil, your song is very coll. Congratulations.

[joeferraro]

Hi your base plan has helped me a lot. I started playing 10 months ago. I played drums for 35 years and I played Harmonica for five years.
