(Love Is Like A) Heatwave This version by Joan Osborne taken from the album Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Bass performance by Bob Babbitt with The Funk Brothers. Tab by bass50611. For me, this is Bobs masterpiece, very much different to the original by the legend - James Jamerson. Note that to play to the track, tune down one semi-tone. Think its 98% right. Play all the song as a walking bass line. In the first line of sax solo, first and third lines of outro, F (4th fret) to open 2nd string is played very quick. Any comments its bass254@btinternet.com Intro: F#|------------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-----------------------------------2-2---------4------------------| G#|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-0------2-------4---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| D#|---------------------------------2-----0---2-2--------------------| F#|----------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-2-------4-----------------2-2--------------------------------| G#|----2-----4--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----2-------------------------------| D#|-----0-2-2-----------------------0--2-2-2-2---3-3-3-3---5-5-5-5-| F#|---------------------------2-4-2---| C#|---------------------------------4-| G#|-5-------5-------5------5----------| D#|--7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7------------| Verse 1: F#|---------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-2-3-4-4----------------0-1-2-2-3-4-----------------0-1-2-2--| G#|--2-------4---2-2-2-2-2-4------2-----4-0-4-2-2-2-2-2-4-----2-2-| D#|-----------2---------------------------------------------------| F#|-------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-------------------------------------------------------------| G#|------------------------------5-------5-------5-------5------| D#|-2-2-2-2---3-3-3-3---5-5-5-5---7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7-| F#|---------------------------2-4-2---| C#|---------------------------------4-| G#|-5-------5-------5------5----------| D#|--7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7------------| Verse 2 F#|-----------1-2-3-4-2--2-4-2--2------------------------------------| C#|-2-1-2-3-4----------4------4---2-2-----------------------0-1-2-2--| G#|----------------------------------2------0-1-2-2-2-2-2-4------2-2-| D#|-----------------------------------0-2-2--------------------------| F#|-------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-------------------------------------------------------------| G#|------------------------------5-------5-------5-------5------| D#|-2-2-2-2---3-3-3-3---5-5-5-5---7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7-| F#|---------------------------2-4-2---| C#|---------------------------------4-| G#|-5-------5-------5------5----------| D#|--7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7------------| Sax Solo: F#|-----------1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-1-2-3-4---------40-------------2-2-2-4-----------------0-1-2-2--| G#|-----------------------4-0-2-0-------2---4-0---2-2-2-2-2-4-----2-2-| D#|-----------------------------3-2-----------2-----------------------| F#|----------------------------2-4-2--| C#|---------------------------------4-| G#|----4-------5------------5---------| D#|-2-2-2---3-3-3---5-5-5-5-----------| Verse 3: F#|---------------------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-2-3-4-4----------------0-1-2-2-3-4-----------------0-1-2-2--| G#|- 2-------4---2-2-2-2-2-4------2-----4-0-4-2-2-2-2-2-4-----2---| D#|-----------2-------------------------------------------------0-| F#|----------------------------------------2-4-2---| C#|----------------------------------------------4-| G#|------------------------------5------5----------| D#|-2-2-2-2---3-3-3-3---5-5-5-5---7-5-7------------| Outro: F#|----------1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-1-2-3-4---------40------------2-2-2-3-4-4-4------------0-1-2-2-| G#|----------------------4-0-2-0---------------4--2-2-2-2-2-4--------| D#|-----------------------------3-2----------------------------------| F#|-0-2-----------------------------------------------------| C#|-----4-4---------------0-1-2-2-2-3-4-4-4-------------0-1-| G#|--------4--2-2-2-2-2-4----------------4--2-2-2-2-2-4-----| D#|---------2-----------------------------------------------| F#|-----------1-2-3-4------------------------------------------------| C#|-2-1-2-3-4---------40------------2-2-2-3-4-4-4----------------0-1-| G#|----------------------4-0-2-0---------------4---2-2-2-2-2-2-4-----| D#|-----------------------------3-2----------------------------------| REPEAT THIS LAST BASS LINE OF OUTRO TO FADE/END
