SUGAR WILL
5-string fretless BEADG

Source: 7-10-04 
Times reference Marcus Halberstam tape

INTRO (0:00-2:10)

[All the "solo sections" including the intro are basically played using an A minor scale.  Play around with this and you'll get it.]

A minor scale (where "A" represent an "A" note, such as the 5th fret of the E string and seventh fret of the D string) and "x" represents a note on the scale.

I'm no bassist, but that seems like a great tab!

I like how you have the "1 2 3 4" counting along with the tab

I usually do that for myself to format and space out the tab and then just erase it, but I left it in here so you could start to see how the song moves between 4/4 and 7/8. I'd heard that chorus probably 20 times but never picked up on what was happening-- it threw me for a loop for a minute as I was trying to tab it. The change from 7/8 back to 4/4 is pretty nice, especially where it occurs within the progression.

anyone have a 4string tab for this song?

if you don't want to play the song the right way, just move the E's on the B-string to an open e and the D's on the B string an octave up
