seashell Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Do any of my fellow BC’ers know where I might find bass tabs for Galveston? The Glen Campbell version in F as per his recording. I have of course googled it. I’ve found the chord sequence in F, which is a help and I’ve been gradually picking out the bass line by listening. But it’s a slow old process and if anyone could help me cut corners a bit by pointing me in the right direction of the tab that would be great. I’m aiming to do it at a (sort of) acoustic night with a friend. He sings it beautifully and I’d love to do it justice. Thank you, Basschat collective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Great, great song Shell. I only have a chord / vocal part somewhere but not a tab version I'm afraid. We do it in my country band, and the bass does follow the chord sequence fairly logically I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 It’s lovely isn’t it? If I can’t get a tab I can do my own approximation, but I’d like to get as close to the original as possible. Carol Kaye I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love all of GC's versions of Jimmy Webb's great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPrawn Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 When I first looked at this I thought it said Gaviscon! 😳 This May help. My favourite way of finding anything. I typed ‘Galveston leadsheet’ into Google. Loads of images come up. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Galveston+lead+sheet&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=isnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFxduo0JrZAhVTa8AKHVD7BUgQ_AUIESgB&biw=768&bih=922&dpr=2 I wonder if the manufacturers of Gaviscon have ever thought of using it for an add? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Oh brill, many thanks for that King Prawn. I’ll sign up for one of those. I can’t sight read, but I can slowly pick it out so this will be ace. I love sheet music. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
