Phish - David Bowie Chords & Tabs

Song: David Bowie

Artist: Phish

Album: Junta



This is one of my favorite Phish basslines.  Definitely

funky.  This is only the structured part of the song.  The

rhythm isn't that hard to figure out if you have a

recording.



T=slap

P=pop

X=muted slap



Main Line:



G   --------4h6-----2-----4--------4h6-----2---4--

  o         P       P     P         P      P   P   o

D   ----------------------------------------------



A   --2/4-4------------------2/4-4-----------X----

  o   T   T                  T   T           T     o

E   ------------3h5---5h7--------------3h5--------

                T     T                T



This is played four times before the walk-up part.  I add
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/phish/david_bowie_btab_ver_2.html ]
the muted slap for a little variety, but you could keep

repeating the first half of the pattern if you want to.



Walk-Up:



G   ----------------6h7h9--



D   --------------7--------



A   ----4h5h7--------------



E   --5--------------------



After the walk-up is played, the whole thing is repeated and

the second time around it goes into a jam.  After the jam is

over, it comes back to the original pattern, except

everything moves up 3 frets (including the walk-up).



Note: this is my first time putting tab on the net, and I

would appreciate any feedback.  If you find this useful,

please let me know.  I will post more Phish basstabs if I

get a positive response.
