Bob Marley

Bob Marley - Jammin (correct Version) bass tab

Song: Jammin'

Artist: Bob Marley & The Wailers

Album: Exodus (1977)

Bassist: Aston "Familyman" Barrett

This is a cool song and very easy to play, not to mention easy to

improv. Most of the tabs i have seen, however, are an octave too

low. This is how its meant to sound.

Main Riff

Play during verses, choruses, actually, most of the time. It

sounds good with any variation

on this riff, to a degree.

G|---------------|---------------|

D|---------------|---------------|

A|---------7-7-77|9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8|

E|7-7-7-77-------|-----9-----8---|

Riff 2

Play between verses, ie. during "Aint no rules, aint no vow",

"No bullet can stop us now" etc.

G|-------------|---------------|-------------|---------------|

D|-------------|---------------|-------------|---------------|

A|--577-5---577|9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8|--577-5---577|9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8|

E|7.-----77----|-----9-----8---|77-----77----|-----9-----8---|

Riff 3

Play during "Holy mount zion"

G|-----------------|-----------------|--------|--------|

D|-----------------|-----------------|--------|--------|

A|---------7-7-7-77|---------7-7-7-77|--------|--------|

E|7-7-7-77---------|7-7-7-77---------|-7------|-7------|

So the song goes:

Riff 1 x4

Riff 2 x1

Riff 1 x2

Riff 2 x1

Riff 1 x2

Riff 3 x1

Riff 1 x2 (Play a variation on 1st and 3rd bars of this riff)

Riff 1 x1

Riff 2 x2

Riff 1 x3

Riff 2 x1

Riff 1 x2 (On last bar of the song, improv again)

There it is. Its a really easy song, and like i say, you can improv

most of it anyway, so this tab is really only a guide.Enjoy.
