Bass Tab

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

The order is as follows:

Listen to the recording to figure out the exact timing.

I like to improvise a little especially with Riff A & B.

So have fun and long live the funk!
