[F] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ What's up y'all?
The Luka here.
_ So that is Grover Washington Jr.
Just the two of us with Bill Withers singing it.
Great bass line y'all.
It's got three parts to it. _
Yeah, two parts.
But it's really, it sounds like three, but it's really two parts.
_ No.
Let me fix that again man. _
_ Quick calculation.
_ It's actually three parts.
_ Sounds like four parts.
Okay.
So the intro [Db] is.
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Db] Okay so we're gonna do a hammer on from the C sharp to the D sharp.
And then a pull off back from the D sharp back to the C sharp.
So that's what you're gonna do.
_ [Bb] That's the first thing you're gonna learn right [Dbm] here.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
Okay.
_ Then the next note is [Cm] _ C, _ [E] E, _ and then there's another [Bb] pull, hammer on pull off from F to G.
_ _ _ [Eb] So.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ Okay. _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] Now that part right there is [Eb] E flat _ to [Ab] A flat.
Back to the.
[Db] _ _ _ [E] _ [F] _
[Ab] So it uses the same notes, just in a different rhythmic order here.
So you got the C sharp to D sharp. _ _ _
So that little hammer on pull [Eb] off.
_ [Cm] _ C, E, [F] and then the F to G pull off. _ _
Okay.
[Eb] Then the E flat _ to A [Ab] flat.
[A] Back to the C [Db] sharp to D sharp pull off.
_ [C] To C, [Gb] E, F.
So it does that same thing over and over again.
So I'm gonna play it one more time here slowly.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Db] Now what sounds deceptive when he starts singing the verse, he's actually doing the same line
but an octave lower.
So you go down here to the C sharp and D sharp here. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Same notes.
_ _ _ C [E] _ to F to the F G [F] pull off to [Eb] the E flat _ to A flat.
Same [Db] pattern.
_ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Dbm] So this pattern. _ _
Wait a minute.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Db]
It's the same as.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ Same exact [Db] pattern.
Okay.
So that's the verse and the intro right there.
Those are the parts that sound deceptive like they're two different things but they're really
the same thing.
Just an octave lower.
Now the chorus is C sharp _ [C] _
to C, _ _ [Fm] F, [E] E, _ [Eb] _ E flat, [Ab] A flat, [Db] back to C sharp.
_ [C] _ C [F] to F. _
Okay.
So [Db] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[F] that's _ the chorus.
Okay now there's one more part that I didn't play when I was playing with the drum machine.
_ It's the bridge section where the sax solo is.
All it is is a chromatic walk down from C sharp down to _ A flat or G sharp.
[Db] So it starts on C sharp.
_ [C] _ _ [B] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] C sharp, _
[Gb] F sharp.
[Db] Okay.
So let's start from again on that solo section.
This is where the sax does the solo.
C sharp, _ _ [C] C, _ [B] B, _ [Bb] B flat, _ [A] A, [Ab] A [Db] flat, D flat, [Gb] G flat. _ _ _
[Db] So the D flat and G flat go like _ that.
So when you listen to the record you'll see what I'm talking about.
Just remember that it's chromatic until the very end and it'll go boop, [Gb] boop.
Okay.
So like I said there's only three parts to the song.
I have to remember for a second because I'm getting a little old.
So I have to remember.
_ So it sounds like four parts but it's really only three.
So some songs are like that.
They'll play the octave, you know, they'll play a part up a higher octave way up here
but then they'll play the exact same thing down there at the end.
So I hope you have a good time with it.
It's one of my favorite little bass lines here.
I totally forgot about it too because I was listening to Pandora and it came on.
I was like, oh yeah.
I remember that one.
So I had to hook it up.
So I'll catch y'all
