Tab Bass Meghan Trainor – Funk Versi 1

Artist: Meghan Trainor Track: Funk Album: Treat Myself Tuning: Standard (EADG) Listen carefully to the song for timings etc, there are a few variations e.g. vibrato/hammer-on notes which make it 'funkier' here and there. Opportunity to improvise some of the sections. Simple but fun song to play, I hope this is as accurate as possible to original track. 1st Intro - no bass Bass comes in second section of introduction Throughout the song the bass tends to not come in straight away on each section [Intro] "I miss the way we used to funk" G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|-----5----3--5-|-----5----3--5-|-----x0x0-5-5--|---------------| A|-------5-------|-------5-------|---------------|---------------| E|3-3------------|3-3------------|3-2-1--------3-|1---1---2---2--| [Verse 1] "Miss your body on my body" G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|-----5----3--5-|-----5----3--5-|-----5----3--5-|---------------| A|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------|---------------| E|3-3------------|3-3------------|3-3------------|1---1---2---2--| G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|-----5----3--5-|-----5----3--5-|-----5---3x-4-5|---------------| A|-------5-------|-------5-------|-------5-------|---------------| E|3-3------------|3-3------------|3-3------------|1---1---2---2--| [Chorus] "And I want you back" G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| A|6--------------|5--------------|---------------|-----1h3-1----5| E|---------------|---------------|3-------------3|1--------------| G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| A|6--------------|5--------------|----0----1----3|5-5-5-5-5------| E|---------------|-------1-------|3--------------|---------------| [Verse 2] "I miss the way we used to funk" G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|-----5-----5--3|---------------|-----5-----3h5-|-----5-----5h3-| A|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| E|3-3---x3-3-----|1---1---2---2--|3-3----3-3----3|3-3---x3-3----3| G|---------------|---------------|-----------3---|---------------| D|-----5-----5---|---------------|-------3h5----5|-----5----3--5-| A|---------------|---------------|---3h5---------|-------5-------| E|3-3---x3-3--3--|1---1---2---2--|-3-------------|3-3------------| G|---------------|---------------| D|-----5---3x-4-5|---------------| A|-------5-------|---------------| E|3-3------------|1---1---2---2--| [Chorus] "And I want you back" G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|---------------|---------------|-----5----3--5-|-----5----3--5-| A|6----6-----6-9-|5---3h5-3------|-------5-------|-------5-------| E|--------8------|------------3--|3-3------------|3-3------------| G|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| D|---------------|---------------|---------------|---------------| A|6--------------|5--------------|----0----1----3|5-5-5-5-5------| E|---------------|-------1-------|3--------------|---------------| [Verse 3] "I miss the way we used to funk" (slide from 3rd stret on D string up to 12th fret on G string at end of bar 4 or improvise with a lick!)
