Movin Out Anthonys Song

Billy Joel
Bass Tab
★4.1(5)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

A|--5----------5--3-------------3-----5---------5-4-3------------3-4-----|
E|-----5-4-3---------0--1---3/5----------5-4-3---------0--1--3/5---------|

Verse 1

Same as the intro, but there are two parts to the verse. They're labelled figures A and B.

A|--5----------5--3-------------3-----5---------5-4-3------------3-4-----|

Verse B is the change to the verse line, and leads directly into the chorus.

Verse 3

For Verse 3 we skip the Versa A figure and go directly into Verse B, and one last chorus and post-chorus.

Verse B

G|-7----------------------7-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------5------------------------|

Post-Chorus

Play once.

G|-7--------------------------------7------------------------------------|
D|----------5------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--5----------5--3-------------3-----5---------5-4-3------------3-4-----|
E|-----5-4-3---------0--1---3/5----------5-4-3---------0--1--3/5---------|

Coda

I'm admittedly not that sure I have the coda correct. This is definitely the skeleton of it but I can't

make out the embellishments.

Play three times.

G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|--5-------------4-5--------------|
E|----2-3-3-3-4-5------------------|

The embellishment is something like this. Played after the 2nd repitition.

G|---------------------------------|
D|--------------------5------------|
A|--5-------------4-/5-5-3---------|
E|----2-3-3-3-4-5------------------|
