Versions (4)

Auto-scroll

Witten by Holland Dozier Holland, recorded by The Four Tops and a Worldwide number I hit. This is one of James Jamerson many Bass Master Pieces. Tab by bass50611 Not exact, more simplified than the original recording. When playing stroke down across the strings of the Bb chord, feel the song and it will fit. And remember James played it all with his first finger! Note the pause dots. Comments is [email protected]
