Jeff Buckley
Vancouver
Tabbed by Matthew Moore (mmoore2080@genie.co.uk)
This one proved a tougher nut to crack than I had
originally thought.
Firstly, there is a bar during the intro of unusual
length, bar 4, I believe it is
in 9/8.
Secondly, although many of the bass lines are
repeated, there are slight variations from time
to time, so I have basically tabbed the entire
song bar for bar.
And lastly, the outro section was a real pain.
See note.
Other than that I hope it is of some use.

Outro
(Note: I found it very difficult to hear what the bass
was playing note for note during this section, so the
following is a close approximation. Also, the timing
is all over the place which makes it even more
difficult to tab. As long as you have a feel for it,
it should be no problem)
