This is a note-for-note transcription of “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You”, which includes the vocals, the electric bass, the little harmonica part, and a summary (not an instrument transcription) of the chord voicings played the various keyboard tracks. This is a real joy to play, especially for the bassists, as this up-beat bass line that lets you practice leaning into the drums’ 16th-note shuffle and switch between different rhythm patterns. Enjoy!
