I tabbed this from the Deluxe Edition version. This is The Who's version, recorded in April 1965, while they were recording the My Generation album. The High Numbers version is the one that I believe is on Odds & Sods was recorded sometime in early 1964, before they recorded "I Can't Explain", I think. I'm not too sure (nor am I ever sure) on the background of the recordings, but I am sure of this bass tab. It's roughly 90% accurate. Here goes: It starts off with Pete's guitar, then the bass kicks into the chorus (play the chorus twice and throw in some fills) G|-------|---------------------------------------------------| D|-------|-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4------------| A|-4-2---|-4-4----------4-4----------4-4----------4--4--4--4-| E|-----4-|---------------------------------------------------| The verses are simple. You just play this for the first three lines G|------------| D|---2-4--4---| A|-4--------4-| E|------------| Then use this for the last line in every verse and kick back into the chorus G|--------------| D|---2-4--------| A|-4------4-2---| E|------------4-| Here's the chorus for the rest of the song G|---------------------------------------------------| D|-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4------------| A|-4-4----------4-4----------4-4----------4--4--4--4-| E|---------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| D|-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4-----4--4-4-4-------------| A|-4-4----------4-4----------4-4----------4-4-2---2h4-| E|----------------------------------------------4-----| Then there's another verse Then another chorus Pete plays a solo after the chorus. Treat the solo as another verse, so play the bass for the verses There's another chorus after the solo Then a final verse (this time with a call-and-response vocal technique) Then a final chorus Then play this five times: G|-----------| D|-----------| A|-4-2---2h4-| E|-----2-----| Here's the big finale: G|---------66666666-| D|---2-4------------| A|-4-----4----------| E|------------------| I hope I got this bass tab perfect this time. It's one of my favorite Who tracks (even though it's a Holland-Dozier-Holland song, not a Townshend song). They have so much energy in this song, especially Moonie. Listen to the drums on the Deluxe Edition version. Roger's vocals are excellent, for being one of the first tracks they recorded under the name The Who. Fantastic. I hope you'll get a ton of use with this bass tab. Long live rock! #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.
