I Looked at You - The Doors

Tabbed By: born21239

There are two basslines on this song.
The most prominent (top half of the notation) is played by
session musician Larry Knechtel on an electric bass guitar with
a pick, and the other (bottom half of the notation) is played by
Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. For
the best effect, play his line with your fingers. You can transpose
the strings however you like, as his bassline is not originally
written for the bass guitar. This is just the way I prefer to play 
it and think sounds best.
Listen to the recording to pick up on the exact timbre of the notes.

This is the whole song from beginning to end.
Knechtel's part is at least 99% accurate, but the recording is 4-track
and the bass, especially Ray's part, was not recorded that well so some
of the notes were not discernable, and are more the product of educated 
guesses.
