Heatwave Bass

(ver. 1)
Joan Osborne
(Love Is Like A) Heatwave
This version by Joan Osborne taken from the album Standing in the
Shadows of Motown. Bass performance by Bob Babbitt with The Funk
Brothers. Tab by bass50611. For me, this is Bobs masterpiece, very
much different to the original by the legend - James Jamerson.
Note that to play to the track, tune down one semi-tone.  Think its
98% right. Play all the song as a walking bass line
