Short Skirt Long Jacket - Cake Tabbed by: Al E-mail: Tuning: Drop D DADG To get everything out of this song, you need to listen to it through a well balanced stereo system with tight, rich, deep subs. An average home or car system or head phones will distort and won't produce a rich enough tone to hear all that the bass has to offer. To play this song in the studio version, you have to either tune your 4-string to Drop D, or play a 5-string. This tab is for a 4-string with the E dropped to a D.

More of a feel. Time it right you'll hear all four notes clear. The song is in 4/4. Count off 1, 2, a-quadrupalet, 4 &. The "a" of a-qua-dru-pa-let comes on the up beat of beat 3. Example: in the chorus, the Fret 7, 7 is beat 1 - 2, the open string/hammer on's are the a-quadrupalet roll, fret 5,6 are the 4 & count. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
