JOLENE (Cake, From the album Motorcade of Generosity)
(Bass Tab)
From: Philippe Girolami (girolami@ec-lille.fr)
Ok, here's my first tab, it's not a very easy song as that Victor
Damiani guy adds a lot of fancy stuff to the bass line.
Here's what sound nice to me, feel free to post a better version!!
Intro is something like, I'm not too sure about the end of it..
G|-----|-----|-----------|
D|-----|-----|-3/4/6/8/9-|
A|-----|-----|-----------|
E|-6\0-|-6\0-|-----------|
This is the main riff although he often changes the end, going up to
9 on the G string sometimes and playing with 4 and 6 on string D.
G|-------|---------|---4---|-6h8-6---|
D|-------|---------|-----4-|------6--|
A|--7-4--|-4h6-4-0-|-------|---------|
E|4------|---------|-7-----|---------|
Then at the end he basically does this:
G|-------------|
D|-6-4-3-1-3-4-|
A|-------------| a few times, adding a little twist to it I didn't
E|-------------| have the patience to work out
Then a lot of fret 4 on string E and finally
G|------------------| The point being to play string E repetitively
D|------------------| and going from fret 4 to fret 16...
A|------------------|
E|-444/666/99/12/16-|
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.
