The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) - They Might Be Giants Tabbed by Skooter This is my first tab on here. The other tabs for this on here were close, but not quite right, so I wrote this out. This song is a blast to play on bass and most everyone recognizes the melody. [Intro] G|----------------------------| (1 time) D|-3-3-----3-----3-3------3---| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| (3 times) D|--------2-4-2---0------0-------------| A|-0----4-------4----------4-2-4-2-----| E|-------------------------------------| [First Verse] ("HEY!... Who's that playin'?...") G|-------------------------------------| (8 times) D|--------2-4-2---0-0----0-------------| A|-0-0--4-------4----------4-2-4-2-----| E|-------------------------------------| [Chorus] ("In the spaceship...")
