Help with tabbing some songs

[jedw]

I will have a look at this soon, I play bass and I have reasonable ear for bass parts, BUT its 1:20 AM local time, not time to be trying anything LOL.

Here's what I have for the verses to IDWTK

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------4---2---------------------4---2---4----------------------|
A|--2-----------walking part--2----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------| x1

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------4---2---------------------4---2---4----------------------|
A|-02-----------walking part--2----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------| x3

I have yet to figure out the walking bass part.

[jedw]

This is what I've come up with so far;

Intro

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------4--2--4-2-4-----4--2--4--------------------------------|
A|-----2---------------2-----------------------------------------|
E|--2--------------------------------2-----------------------------|




"I dont want to know"

G|----------------------4--2--4----------------------------------|
D|-----4--2--4---------------------------------------------------|
A|--2---------4------2-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------2-4----------------2------------------------------|




"Fi -na-ly baby"

G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------2--4-4----------------2--4-4----------------------------|
A|--2-2-------------------2-2------------------------------------|
E|--------------2-2-2-----------------2-2-2----------------------|

Sounds good to me! Thanks for that! Seriously, I'm so excited. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for FM bass tabs. I never found anything for my favourites, like Sisters of the Moon, I'm So Afraid, etc. so I tried transcribing them myself... and failed.

As a bassist, Fleetwood Mac is definitely one of my favorite bands to play along to. I mean does it get any better than the tag that leads in to the guitar solo in "The Chain"? John is not a "showy" bassist but I think that the steady parts he contributed were really what made some of the Mac's big hits. Can you imagine "Dreams" minus that pulsing bass line? Ok I need to stop with the hero worship but who wouldn't want to be John McVie?

If anyone has the tab for "Sisters of the Moon" or "Sara" I would be much obliged if they would post it.

I've seen two different Sara tabs. Haven't really played them, so I don't know how accurate they are.

-----------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------|
----------5-7-77-77-77-2-3-33-33-3-5-55-55-5-7-------|
-3-33-33/5-------------------------------------5-7-3-|

And there's this one transcribed by a Finnish dude - AFAIK there are no FM songs called Jada; I'm guessing this is a translation error.

Do you guys ever look at the tabs of FM songs that have been published professionally over the years?
