Donald Fagen - Morph The Cat tab
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Morph The Cat The intro and the first two verses can be played as the following as tabbed-which may require a certain degree of co-ordination, or the use of a sequencer to record the bass line. Throughout the verses it could be played with the Em and Dm chords over a G bass..or simply with just a G7 or G9 throughout ( as would be the case in most commercially released sheet music.) And with any format such as this, it is recommended one initially play along with the recording a few times in order to get the timing down. small case letters above chord symbols indicate individual notes: c4: middle C, and notes above in that octave... c5: C above middle C c3: C below middle C etc. numbers behind notes will only be indicated when notes enter another octave or begin a new line chord in bracket played on guitar bass: g2 a g d a g d d d g a bb a g g a bb b.... g2 a g d a g d d d g a bb a g g a bb b....
