From Emil's Tablature
by Bob Marley
This is the instrumental version of Marley‚s "Small Axe" that Trey has been
playing this past tour (Columbia, Richmond, and Philly). It was arranged by
The Upsetters. This song is all kinds of smooth fun. Enjoy.

This whole song is A D and E
Tony‚s bass intro is the basis for the entire song. Just transpose it up an
octave (or two).
E---------------------------------------------------12---12---12-----
B---------------------------------------------------10---10---10-----
G----------------------------------------------------9----9----9-----
D---------------------------4-----------------------11---11---11----
A-------------4---5---7--------7---5---4-4--------------------------
E----5--7--------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------12---12---12-----
B---------------------------------------------10---10---10-----
G----------------------------------------------9----9----9-----
D---------------------------------------------11---11---11-----
A-------------4------------4-------------------------------------
E----5--7---------7---5-----------------------------------------
This repeats and then ends with:
E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------
A-------------4---5-----------------------------------------------
E----5--7-------------------------------------------------------
This moves into a reggae beat while people solo. I think this is just:
D A E
That‚s pretty much it. All of the solos are just noodling around with the
main theme.
