Right after '...just as long as his ship's coming in...'
There are two guitars in this song. The rhythm guitar always plays Part A, except when it
doesn't and instead plays Part D. The lead guitar joins in after the first two measures
and plays Part C and when he's singing Part B. During the chorus the guitars move down a
string for the measure, right after '...just as long as his ship's coming in...'
This is my first tab but it's all you need to get started playing this song, I just
haven't figured out the solo or outro parts yet. The Mission Hill theme song uses Part A
for rhythm and Part C and B for lead, but it's all a lot quicker.
the 3 3's in the main riff, part B, C, and E are played very quickly with an up and down-
stroke.
Listen to the songs to get the struming right because it varies.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CAKE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
