I. Performance Notes
This track, taken from Parade, is played using a "slap & pop" bass
technique. The A - C - D rhythm figure is doubled by a keyboard. The figure
notated in the second Chorus is probably not a bass guitar, but fits well on
fretboard. The /*\ indicates sliding the left hand up the fretboard while
slapping the strings with the thumb of the right. Listen closely to the recording.
On the live performance that I've heard, taken from 09-09-86 Tokyo, the
bass part is simplified to the A - C - D rhythm figure. The "slap and pop"
technique is used very sparingly.
II. Tablature
* = an unspecified position on the fretboard
/ = slide finger to next note (left hand)
s = slap string with thumb
p = "pop" string with middle (or index) finger
^^^^ = (left-hand) vibrato

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 PRINCE 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.
