Will Lee has been totally turned loose here and he serves up a feast. The basic line follow to guitar around but soon ventures into fill paradise. Using open strings and a combination of major and minor thirds Lee finds some of the coolest, and hardest, phrases ever put to tape. I can't believe how fast his position shifts are at times. I guess that's why he was first call in New York around this time. When, or should I say if, you can play this, you are a monster bassist. The sound is a little strange. It has a full low end and a very pronounced high end when playing in the higher regions of the fretboard. Perhaps Lee's action is set very low and the strings get that funky "clink" by slapping against the fingerboard. I'm pretty sure this is played fingerstyle. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum

[Rhy. Fig 1] I went to a party, just so smartly, cool as cool could be I knew I could make it, knew I could shake it, lose some fancy free So I went to the table and reached for a bottle And poured me a glass of wine Took a few sips and looked around, I was feelin' fine But an hour along, comin' on strong, I was gettin' drunk The next thing I knew I looked at you, I was blind as a skunk, [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1] Ohh, Ohh, Ohh.... I was [Rhy. Fig 3a] (4x) [Rhy. Fig 3a] (3x) I was wiped out, I had my lights out, was fallin' right out [Rhy. Fig 3b] 'Cos I was wiped out [Rhy. Fig 4] Through the smoke-filled room I caught your eye And I think that you caught mine And I knew in a minute or maybe less, it was just a matter of time Then you started to move with such a groove, stronger than sneakin' slow Then you looked at me with your big blue eyes, they had such a glow Then I took your hand and tried to stand and ended up sittin' back down Then you smiled at me and gave me a wink, how quick I lost my frown [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2] Ohh, Ohh, Ohh.... I was [Rhy. Fig 3a] (4x) [Rhy. Fig 3a] (4x) I was wiped out, I had my lights out Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out [Rhy. Fig 3a] (3x) [Rhy. Fig 3c] [Rhy. Fig 5] So I looked at you and then I knew that we were gonna have some fun So I thought to myself, why was I wishin' I'd switched on rum So when I went light 'n burned, we flew to another place I pretty soon we were in some moon steps, miles out of space The room was turnin', we were burnin', things became a haze It seemed that already I had too many, firewater caused the blaze [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1] Ohh, Ohh, Ohh.... I was [Rhy. Fig 3a] (4x) [Rhy. Fig 3a] (repeat and fade) I was wiped out, I had my lights out Was fallin' right out, 'cos I was wiped out
