Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the 2. fu -- ture (repeat last staff and fade into keyboard part) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: -Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time. -Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the downbeats (1234) fall. -In parts of the song (Verses 1 & 2, for example), the guitar can be heard faintly, doubling the bass part (at least, it sounds like it). In other parts of the song (eg. 3rd Verse), I don't think there is a guitar part. For those parts, I just tabbed the bass part, but I tabbed it as 5th intervals to fill the sound out more for guitar. -In the Chorus, the chords are a keyboard part, the fills are a guitar part. h...hammer on x...muted note o ~...vibrato o...repeat (the bars between the symbols) (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
