Cake

Cake - Jolene bass tab

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-|
