Take It as It Comes - The Doors

Tabbed By: born21239

This is the first beginning-to-end tab for both basslines on this song.
The most prominent bassline (top half of the notation) is played by
session musician Larry Knechtel on an electric bass guitar with a pick,
and the other (bottom half of the notation) is played by Doors
keyboardist Ray Manzarek on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. For the best
effect, play his line with your fingers. You can transpose the strings
however you like, as his bassline is not originally written for the bass
guitar. This is just the way I prefer to play it and think sounds best.
Listen to the recording to pick up on the exact timbre of the notes.

This is the whole song from beginning to end.
Knechtel's part is at least 99% accurate, but the recording is 4-track
and the bass, especially Ray's part, was not recorded that well so some
of the notes were not discernable, and are more the product of educated 
guesses.

The times noted are for the 40th Anniversary Mixes that appeared on the
Perception boxed set. Almost all versions of this song run about a half-
step slow, so listen to the new mixes to hear it at the proper speed and
pitch.
