Bigger Than My Body Ver 5 by John Mayer
John Mayer - Bigger Than My Body ver 5 bass tab
Artist: John Mayer
Song: Bigger than My Body
Album: Heavier Things
Tabbed by: the99thaisle
This song has got some very nice basslines. I know for sure that almost all the notes are right,
but the timing can be very hard to follow. I apologize for not being able to express the timing
very clearly. Lyrics (which may or may not be the correct lyrics--apology number two) are
written in to help show when to play. Wherever there is a slide ending in a note in parentheses
[for instance 2/(7)] it means slide to that note but don't pluck it. Instead pluck the note that
is transcribed directly below the note in parentheses. If that doesn't make sense now, wait til
you see it and then it'll make sense.
Intro: just guitar and drums
