DRIVE

Bass tab by Dave Silverstone

This is the tab for the "funk" version of Drive, as performed live. It is
almost identical notewise to the album version, although the tempo and the
number of times each note is played is somewhat different. Here it is:

4/4 time

Note: on the E-Em parts of the chorus and refrain, you can use 2nd fret on
the D instead of 12th on E. However, it sounds a bit better, especially if
you audiably slide from 9 to 12 before hitting it and then again on the way
down.
