The Bass in the song is tuned to Drop D.. Other Tabs I've seen aren't. Also when I tabbed this song I couldn't find ANY other tab versions anywhere.. in 2007. It's not perfect but it sounds damn close.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: D A D G
Capo: no capo

JEFF BUCKLEY -  LAST GOODBYE
Drop D Tuning.This is a VERY tricky song. Initial listen sounds easy but
wait till you get into the Nitty Gritty!Took me a while to suss out a
playable riff to it.So,in saying that, this is by no means the exact riff
to the song, the guy playing Bass is GREAT and all over the place with the
coolest little runs all the way through the song. Whats below is going to
get you pretty close to the mark though. Good Luck!!
