WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Doors - Twentieth Century Fox Bass | Ver. 2
This is one of my favorite Doors songs. As with all the songs on their first album, Ray Manzarek
created and recorded this bass line on his keyboard. However, simple as it may be, it is one
of the coolest bass lines in classic rock and is the primary contributing factor to the success
of this song.
Tuning: DADG
Time signature: 4/4
r = rest (listen for duration)
{}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
* My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words,
there are no specific notations to account for note / rest duration. However, you will find that
I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures
in order to represent the appropriate durations.
