/ The Eagles / The Eagles (1972) / Witchy Woman bass tab

Song: Witchy Woman 
Artist: The Eagles 
Words and Music by Bernie Leadon and Don Henley 
Album: Eagles (1972) 
Tabbed by: Austin Davis (wofford@email.unc.edu) 

** I have tried to make this tab as precise and accurate as possible to the 
original studio recording, so any corrections or comments to that end are very 
welcome! ** 

Key: Gm 
Symbols: / = Slide up 
\ = Slide down 
<> = Harmonic 
h = hammer on (i.e. 5h7) 
p = pull off  (i.e. 4p0) 
bX = bend the string to sound like the Xth fret. 
   Ghost notes are notated by a "g" above the note (touch the string 
   lightly w/ left hand and pluck - makes a dull thud sound) 
Rhythm (Rh:) is notated using a "+" sign below the tab to represent 
   each beat (+ = one quarter note).  Within each measure, equal notes 
   have equal lengths.  Beats are also divided equally. 
I haven't notated the duration of each note, but I have included rests 
   (marked by an "r") in the first verse to try to give an idea of the 
   feel.  Listen to the recording for the best results.  Rests last 
   until the next note is struck. 
*|| = repeat - go back to the double barline and play the section 
*||   again. 

Tempo: "+" = 98
