Chords with lyrics
Another perfect example of Paul McCartney's bass playing. Mrs. Vandebilt is
another one of those songs tied for first for the best song on Band on the Run.
It was released as a single in Continental Europe in January of 1974 backed with
Bluebird (another great song from Band On The Run).
*** Many times during the song, McCartney does a lot of slides that while tabbing I had to put the slashes
to mark the slides in another line. McCartney also does a lot of eighth notes down at the 14th fret and
while tabbing those are bunched together (14141414) It's always recommended to listen to the song and
playing along to the tab. ***
