This song is from the album "They Only Come Out at Night" (which was probably a refernce
albinos, being that they cannot be in the sun - Edgar Winter, of course, is an albino).
people know this song as being performed by Rick Derringer (bass and vocals) as a member
The Edgar Winter Group, however, this song was actually written and recorded (bass)
Dan Hartman. Fantastic bass line - have fun!
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
/ = slide (low to high)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
