Ok here's the absolutely 100% right way to play this song. I tabbed the exact number of notes that are hit, as the guitar is tremolo picked
with a specific pattern and not just 16/16 picks per measure. The timing on the notes is also perfectly tabbed out as I hate trying to
decipher other people's tabs that aren't accurately timed (and I'm sure we all do).
I also took the time to tab out the bass, trumpet(s) and the piano solos for guitar (the piano part is extremely hard to play on guitar but it's
there anyways). There is also a drum tab available for this song in the drum section that I tabbed.
Standard tuning (a little bit sharp)
Tempo: 182-183
low E string (6th string)

The bass in the song is pretty much constant and easy so I tabbed it this following way:
Played on low E string (4th string):
Bass riff A
E|0---0-0-0-0-0---|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
Riff B
E|1---1-1-1-1-1---|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
Song order:
Rest x 4 mesures
A x 6
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 10
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
Break for trumpet solo:
A|0---0-0-0-0-0-0-||0---0-0-0-0-0-0-||----------------||----------------||----------------||----------------|
E|----------------||----------------||3---3-3-3-3-3-3-||3---3-3-3-3-3-3-||2---2-2-2-2-2-2-||2---2-2-2-2-2-2-|
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
Rest x 6 measures
A x 2
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 16
B x 2
A x 2
B x 2
A x 8 (fade out after 5th time)
Trumpet rythym - sounds like another trumpet or brass instrument, carries this faint rythym but isn't constant throughout song so listen for
the order/sections:
When bass plays riff A:
G|----1-1-----1---|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
When bass plays riff B:
G|----2-2-----2---|
|1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
And that's it! Don't hesitate to email me with comments and corrections and please rate!
