The Riverboat Song Lyrics
Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song
Bass played by Damon Minchella (fantastic bassist with
70s Fender Jazz)
Whole song's in 6/8 time, although nothing weird in
here - just sounds normal.
(Also supposedly a rip-off of Zep's Four Sticks,
although not convinced myself...)
I'll be using repeat marks at the end of bars - || -
as much of the song is repeated.
The x2 (etc.) notes at the end are for how many times
a section is played in total, not how many times it's
repeated - eg x3 means play it once and then play it
twice more.
(Bass rests for two bars, then:)
Verse ("I see double...")
Bridge ("It's more or less...")
____________
(Three bars rest, then back to verse. Second time through play:)
_________
Bridge ("It's more or less...")
(then five bars of rest; then:)
Guitar solo (largely the intro again:)
Bass solo
Then keep playing this riff as need be. Done!
