Bass Tab White Pages ‘Brass in Pocket’

I’ve been learning to play on old favourite ‘Brass in Pocket’ by The Pretenders. I’ve got an aged copy of Bass Tab White Pages and I’m using that.

I use the tab for fretting and the notes are good for rhythm feel.

The first four bars sound great but bars 5&6 are tabbed G# and sound plain wrong. The notes and chord notation are F# and that is sounding good. Bar 7 is tabbed open E but the chord is D/F# so I reckon I should be playing F# (the notes are dropped D).

The tab online mirrors the tab in the book. Looking at the musical notation and using chords the tab seems way out in places. It also sounds right when I ignore the tab and use the notes/chords and slash chords.

My question is, is it me or is the tab rubbish?
