Captain Beefheart — My Human Gets Me Blues bass tabs

This tab consists of a number of ridiculously complicated basslines. I cannot stress
this enough (with all of my tabs, but especially this one), DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY
WITHOUT
HEARING THE RECORD FIRST!

FIG. 2 (“I saw yuh baby dancing…”)

This is played until about a 1:05, when it switches to a screwed—up walking line.

FIG. 3 (“they way you were dancing…”

G——————————4—3—————————————————

And about 1:23, it changes again, to this.

And then the bass drops out, eventually coming back around 1:42.
