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.

Driver 8
Bass Tab by Dave Silverstone (dsgumby@future.dreamscape.com)

(Play in a very countrified manor)

A-|---/3-5-7-5-3--3-3/5--3-3/5-----------------5-5/7--5-5/7-
E-|-5-------------------------------------------------------(Opening riff)
End on open E.
Backing vocals: If you can't pick these out, you must be deaf. There's the
"Driver 8" over the "Take a break Driver 8" part, and the echoing of "But
it's still a ways away" over the chorus. Very easy to work in.

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
Am C
Way to seal the hated heat.
