Stayin’ Alive | TAB
Let’s dive in—I love playing this one!
Intro
Right from the start, we hit the signature staccato lick outlining the Fm7 chord. The transition to the Bb7, moving from chord to picked line, is fantastic. Make sure all 8th notes with a dot above them are played short.
Verse
This section mirrors the intro but skips the Bb7.
Bridge
The bridge recycles the intro idea but adds continuous strumming—pure genius!
Chorus
The chorus is a fresh section and feels perfectly fitting. I’ve included the string lines as well, in case you don’t have a string section on the gig.
Chorus Tag
This tag is similar to the chorus but over Bb instead.
Outro
The outro follows the chorus tag concept, with slight variations in the length of Fm7 every other time.
Once you’re confident with all TAB examples, play along with my tuned backing track above—it’s a real treat!
