Measure # = Xm Sorry for the mixing of #‘s and b’s, that’s how I see them
Starts out on an Ebm7 funk jam (32m)
G#7 (1m) slide to G7 (hold 1m)
F#7 funk jam (16m) Trey plays:
|-----------------------------------------| |----------------11-----------------------| |-----------9-------11(hold)--------------| |------11---------------------------------|
| —9-------------------------------------- |
|---|
F#7 F7 E7 Eb7(Downbeats of 1m) D7 (hold 2m)
C#7 (hold 3m) then come in on with a unison bend lick similar to:
P-O P-O P-O Cm7 Funk beginning|-------8---------------------------------------|---- |-----8---11-8----8-----------------------------|---- |—10^(12)-----10---10-8----8-10^(12)^10-8----8-|---- (This is from

Cm7 Funk jam (through lyrics until noted)
After jam chill the improv and:
All throughout I gaze and glimpse you Nothing ever did convince you See you when you’re all alone It’s not the person, I’m not known The moment ends although I feel winds Blowing differently then ever before And they’re pushing me further from shore
The moment ends though I feel winds (4x Fish, 4x Fish + Trey)
Cm7 The moment ends the moment ends F9 (4x) The moment ends the moment ends
Cm7 Funk (8m, then 8m with Fish whispering something)
(Trey) Up the rail, taking sail Mind the skipper will not fail (2x, 2nd time ‘rail’ is He’ll bring out wine it will be fine rigging) Just heed the order, watch the sail
The moment ends though I feel winds (8x like above)
Cm7 The moment ends the moment ends F9 (4x) The moment ends the moment ends
Cm7 Funk jam w/ Trey singing solo (at least at first)

also, experiment with moving it up a step or more, and change around which note is the ‘soaring bend.’ 10th fret on high E works well too.
F7 (1m) slide to E7 hold (1m)
Eb7 Funk (3m) Eb7 D7 C#7 C7
B7
That’s it! I checked the lyrics with 7/17 so they’re pretty close, if you can help with the rigging/river thing or anything else e-mail me == Bass Tablature ==

It grooves off of this for a while then moves to the same pattern in F minor (7th fret of b string) with variations throughout, it breaks down into a little solo then moves into this same pattern in C minor (13th fret of b string) If you don’t have a 5-string then you’ll have to stick to the album version which is all in C minor. If you do have the 5 try keeping all of the positions on the b-string for that extra fat bottom end
I’ll try to transcribe the breakdown and give a general idea about the solo but it’s hard without my bass in my hands.
