13 Step Boogie tab by Martin Sexton

Tabs

transcribed by Logan Mayfield

This is kind of hard to TAB out just right cause its so jazz/improv oriented. At anyrate
i'll give you the chords for sure and some TAB. Focus on a good walking bass and hit the
chords when you can. I used the studio version to get some of the chords and then pulled
the rest from "Live Wide Open". The chords are above where they sound in the TAB, I'll
put just the important notes in the Tab, feel free to add more notes from the chords (which
are listed below). Theres a lot of palm muting and stuff here. One last note, swing the
heck out of this song, beats 2 and 4 are your friend. Good luck!

 Here are the lyrics with just the chords above them, so you can get the timing. Use
 the TAB above as a guide.

My baby almost every night
     E MajorE EMaj7      A augmentedA     B9B9
My little honey she likes to hold me so tight
    E MajorE EMaj7
She's a teenage girl
       A augmentedA     B9B9
It's way too easy to be right
    E MajorE     EMaj7
But I'm there by her side
 A augmentedA       B9B9
Thanks for the ride
