Song: Jockey full of Bourbon
Artist: Tom Waits
Composer: Tom Waits
Album: Rain dogs
Tabbed by DJ 6th June 2016
There are only 3 chords to this song Em, Am and B7,
what gives it bounce is the alternating bass notes,
which can all be played without changing the basic
chord shape, just emphasise the relevant bass note.
The only movement needed is if you choose to use the
(x21202) shape for the B7, then for the B7/F# you
need to move your middle finger from the 5th to
the 6th string, or use your thumb to add it.
The Em bass runs (indicated in brackets) can be
played just as single bass note progressions.
In the verses the actual double bass plays a
higher E to B, followed by a lower B an octave down
for one beat at the end of the first line.
It's much simpler on guitar just to stay on the same
B note on the 5th string than to try to emulate what
the double bass is doing, but keyboard players
might like to use the actual low bass note instead.
