JOLENE (Cake, From the album Motorcade of Generosity)
(Bass Tab)

From: Philippe Girolami (girolami@ec-lille.fr)

Ok, here's my first tab, it's not a very easy song as that Victor
Damiani guy adds a lot of fancy stuff to the bass line.
Here's what sound nice to me, feel free to post a better version!!

Intro is something like, I'm not too sure about the end of it..

G|-----|-----|-----------|
D|-----|-----|-3/4/6/8/9-|
A|-----|-----|-----------|
E|-6\0-|-6\0-|-----------|


This is the main riff although he often changes the end, going up to
9 on the G string sometimes and playing with 4 and 6 on string D.
                             
G|-------|---------|---4---|-6h8-6---|
D|-------|---------|-----4-|------6--|
A|--7-4--|-4h6-4-0-|-------|---------|
E|4------|---------|-7-----|---------|


Then at the end he basically does this:

G|-------------|
D|-6-4-3-1-3-4-|
A|-------------|     a few times, adding a little twist to it I didn't
E|-------------|  have the patience to work out

Then a lot of fret 4 on string E and finally

G|------------------|  The point being to play string E repetitively
D|------------------| and going from fret 4 to fret 16...
A|------------------|
E|-444/666/99/12/16-|
