Buckley Jeff

Buckley Jeff - Vancouver bass tab

Jeff Buckley

Vancouver

Tabbed by Matthew Moore (mmoore2080@genie.co.uk)

This one proved a tougher nut to crack than I had

originally thought.

Firstly, there is a bar during the intro of unusual

length, bar 4, I believe it is

in 9/8.

Secondly, although many of the bass lines are

repeated, there are slight variations from time

to time, so I have basically tabbed the entire

song bar for bar.

And lastly, the outro section was a real pain.

See note.

Other than that I hope it is of some use.

Outro

(Note: I found it very difficult to hear what the bass

was playing note for note during this section, so the

following is a close approximation. Also, the timing

is all over the place which makes it even more

difficult to tab. As long as you have a feel for it,

it should be no problem)
