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-|-----------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/cake/jolene_btab.html ]
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-|
