Raven: The Savage and The Hungry From the album Life's a Bitch (Atlantic) Copyright 1987 Packsong Music By J. Gallagher, R. Hunter, and M. Gallagher Transcription by Clay Ford Comments/corrections to Clay Ford For more Raven bass tablature visit: http://www.clayford.net Note: There's more happening in this song than my transcription indicates. For instance, in the bridge John goes wild. I suggest you do the same and not worry about playing what he played note-for-note. Also, I think John plays some chords in the chorus, but they're just too hard for me to pick out in the mix. Likewise in the verse, if you listen very carefully, you can sort of hear him tooling around. But again, I had a hard time hearing exactly what he was doing so I let it go. Despite these shortcomings, I think this transcription holds water musically and works with the song. I'm also pretty sure I nailed everything from that kick-ass break that begins at 1:50, to the equally kick-ass lick before the final chorus.
