96 Tears

[cytania]

This is not how most internet tabs have the bassline or as the Mysterians play it. But it is a good exercise for your little finger and there's no need to keep shifting between 3rd and 5th fret. I always thought of 96 tears as proto-Punk rock but listen to 'Big Maybelle' on iTunes (cheaper than rare CD prices) and by golly she can belt it.

Pick players will probably be able to double up the first note of every bar for a Mysterians feel, and the note I've bracketed can be a ghost note once you're grooving. Mysterians probably play this around 96 bpm, soul versions are up at 112 bpm.

At the chorus there's an E line;
