Poor Old Lu
Lyrics: Scott Hunter
Music: Poor Old Lu
(c) 1994 Alarma Records
Tabbed by: Johnny Lloyd (StarFlyr99@aol.com)
*************************
** Tune a half-step down **
*************************
Verse: 4x
Gb-|--------------|
Db-|--------------| This is played at a
Ab-|--3-----5--4--| pretty slow pace.
Eb-|-----0--------|
Chorus: ( ) = optional notes
Gb-|-------------------|-------------------------|
Db-|*-----------------*|-------------------------|
Ab-|*-2-2-2-2-(0)-(2)-*|-------------------------|
Eb-|-------------------|-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-|
Repeat above twice then:
Gb-|-----------------------------|
Db-|-----------------------------|
Ab-|-----------------------------|
Eb-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
Play everything above this line ------------- 2x
Then the whole song changes but still play:
Gb-|---------------------------------------------|
Db-|*-------------------------------------------*|
Ab-|*-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--------------------------*|
Eb-|--------------------3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-3-2-0--|
Then: 2x
Gb-|----------------------|----------------------|
Db-|*--------------------*|----------------------|
Ab-|*--------------------*|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4^-| ^ = bend
Eb-|-5-55-3-33-2-22-0-00--|----------------------|
Then play this 2x:
Gb-|---------------------------------------------------|
Db-|---------------------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
Eb-|-------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------|
Then he plays a pretty complicated riff
using the |-3---5-4-| pattern, I couldn't
|---0-----|
figure it out, but you can make up your own riff.
I made up a riff and that is what is tabbed down
there. It sounds a little like it, but it isn't
correct. It's still fun to play, though.
Gb-|---------------------------------------------|
Db-|----------------------------7----------4---3-|
Ab-|-3-33-5-5-3------------5-55---5-7-4-44---4---|
Eb-|------------0-00-2-0-2-----------------------|
Gb-|------------------------------------|
Db-|------------------------------------|
Ab-|-3-33-5-5-3------------5-(let ring)-|
Eb-|------------0-00-2-0-2--------------|
As far as I can tell he's using a pick,
so use one if you want to your bass to sound like
the one in the recording. Enjoy.
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 POOR OLD LU 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.
