------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHINA GROVE - Doobie Brothers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Staceman e-mail: staceman@gmail.com Tuning: EADG Notes: Being a beginner bass player, I found the regular tab for China Grove just a tad difficult. Not to mention, Tiram Porter was one hell of a bass player. So, being unable to play the bass line to the song to the other tabs out there, I came up with my own bass line for it, that just happens to fit the song rather well. I repeat, THIS IS NOT THE BASS LINE FROM THE ORIGINAL SONG, so if you're looking for that, look at one of the other tabs out there for it. This is just a simpler, alternative bass line for beginners or, for anyone else out there needing to learn this song fast, but finding it Enjoy. Intro (rest for the first part. This part normally doesn't come till the second time around, but not having a keyboard player, this little riff fills in nicely) G|-----7h999999999999999999999...---------| D|--7h9-----------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------5h7--| E|--------------------------------5h7-----| G|----------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------| A|--7-7----5h7-7-7---------5--53-00--007-7--00--| E|------5h7--------5h7-5------------------------| (x2, x4 for instrumental) Pre-Chorus; G|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------| A|--9\4-4-4-4\2-2-2-2--000022h4-4--| E|---------------------------------| Chorus: G|--------|----------------------| D|--------|----------------------| A|----5h7-|-77--55--3-0-0-0---00-| E|-5h7----|----------------------| (second part x3) Post-Chorus: E|-000000000---------------------| (start soft, increase intensity) Bridge: G|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------| A|----------------------22-22244--------|------------------2-22--4-4-4-4-| E|-0-3--44-444-444-444-4---------44-444-|-444-444-444-444----------------| G|-9797---------| D|-----9797-----| A|---------9797-| E|--------------| (a little fill, taking the place of the keyboard thing) G|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| A|----------------------22-22244--------|-2-22--4-4-4-4---0-02-24-----------| E|-0-3--44-444-444-444-4---------44-444-|---------------------------000-2-24| More Notes: - On the Intro, when you're doing the 9's, count each note, like, 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, and more emphasis on the first note each time. - The "5h7-5" on the A string in the Verse, can be tried on the D string, if you think makes it sound any better. - The E:5h7,a:5h7, can be used as a little fill, to start any of the parts of the song it sorta stops, except for the Bridge.
