Galveston

[seashell]

Do any of my fellow BC’ers know where I might find bass tabs for Galveston? The Glen Campbell version in F as per his recording.

 I have of course googled it. I’ve found the chord sequence in F, which is a help and I’ve been gradually picking out the bass line by listening. But it’s a slow old process and if anyone could help me cut corners a bit by pointing me in the right direction of the tab that would be great.

 I’m aiming to do it at a (sort of) acoustic night with a friend. He sings it beautifully and I’d love to do it justice. 

Thank you, Basschat collective

Great, great song Shell. I only have a chord / vocal part somewhere but not a tab version I'm afraid.

We do it in my country band, and the bass does follow the chord sequence fairly logically I think.

It’s lovely isn’t it? If I can’t get a tab I can do my own approximation, but I’d like to get as close to the original as possible. Carol Kaye I believe?

Yeah, I think so. Love all of GC's versions of Jimmy Webb's great songs.

When I first looked at this I thought it said Gaviscon! 😳

This May help. My favourite way of finding anything. I typed ‘Galveston leadsheet’ into Google. Loads of images come up.

I wonder if the manufacturers of Gaviscon have ever thought of using it for an add?

Oh brill, many thanks for that King Prawn. I’ll sign up for one of those. I can’t sight read, but I can slowly pick it out so this will be ace. I love sheet music. 😎
