Everlasting love by the love affair. Need urgent help.

[dave_bass5]

Guys.
Really need help with the above song.
My Bass has just packed up at home and i cant get to my working bass until my gig on Sat but i need to learn the above song as a first dance.

Could anyone be able to tab out (or just jot down) the notes of the Chorus for me.

im pretty sure its based around E - Eb - Db - F# - B but there are some other notes played as well. Im just not going to be able to figure it out before the gig.

Thanks for any help.

I used to play that as our opening number many years ago. If I can get hold of a copy tomorrow, and refresh myself, I'll try and help you out.

Cheers,
Pete.

Hope this helps. From memory it sounds ok but I don't have a recording on hand to check it

Thanks for the help guys.
I can email a copy of the song to you if that would help.

I found another arrangement - [attachment=4523:Everlasting_Love2.pdf]

I haven't had time to sit down and check them both for accuracy.

Thanks again.
looking at them i dont think either are right. They seem to just be very simple versions.
But thanks for looking.

And replied back. Sent you a couple of files and I'd say they're pretty much spot on.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the kind off but it was a joke. well, the bit about asking for help.

This was just a one off as my Bass has decided to go on strike and i dont have my main one at home.
Normally i don't have any problems with learning songs. Keeps me out of the kids way in the evenings.;-)

Oh,OK. No worries. I'm clearly not with it, only having had 3 hours kip the night before last, a drive to Brighton and back yesterday, and then the dog getting me up at 4am this morning!

No problem. i was like that at the weekend (minus the dog but with two kids).
Off up to Leeds tomorrow for the wedding. Hope it warms up a bit.

Just wanted to finish this thread by saying the gig went well and the song went so well we played it twice.

Cheers.

I did a spell in love affair in the 80's, the herbie flowers riff is fairly simple once you nail it,the intro has a decending bass with the first 5th being played twice, the third decending root and 5th, then 2 walking up scales, then the dodgy root note thing for the verses, a pleccy song ideally,you dont need tab, a good ear and a few run throughs should nail it, have fun.
