Tuned down 1/2-step 

Comments: This bass performance comes courtesy of Ace himself and it shows. 
The line is supportive and contains no flash and no melodic embellishments 
like most of his bass playing (the only exception that comes to mind is 
Torpedo girl). However, the line works because it actually grooves. If you 
hit it right the whole track comes to life. 

Key: 
/    = slide up 
\    = slide down 
b    = bend (whole step) 
b^   = bend (1/2 step)

pb   = pre-bend 
r    = release-bend 
t    = tap with righthand finger 
h    = hammer-on 
p    = pull-off 
~    = Vibrato 
*    = Natural Harmonic 
#(#) = Trill 
**   = Artificial Harmonic 
x    = Dead notes (no pitch) 
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) 
(\)  = Dive w\bar 
(/)  = Release w\bar

NEW YORK GROOVE 
Russ Ballard 

[Intro: guitar and drums] 
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (4x) 

[Rhy. Fig 2a] 
Many years since I was here, on the street I was passin' my time away 
To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky 
It's outta sight in the dead of night 

[Rhy. Fig 1a] (4x) 
Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars 
And baby, you'd better believe 

[Rhy. Fig 3a] (3x) 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (2x) 
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove 

[Rhy. Fig 1b] (2x) 

[Rhy. Fig 2b] 
In the back of my Cadillac 
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?' 
Stop at Third and Forty-three, exit to the night 
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me 

[Rhy. Fig 2b](4x) 
Feels so good tonight, who cares about tomorrow 
So baby, you'd better believe 

[Rhy. Fig 3b] (3x) 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
[Rhy. Fig 2b] (2x) 
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove 

[Rhy. Fig 3b] (3x) 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
I'm back, back in the New York Groove 
(repeat and fade)
