This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Artist: The Eagles (Don Henley)

Track: New York Minute

Album: Hell Freezes over (Live)

Tab: Kevin Mc Donald (Metallika5@hotmail.com)

This song is played on a fretless bass but you can also use a fretted bass.

I've watched Timothy B. Schmit play this on the Hell Freezes Over DVD and

I'm sure it's correct. The timing isn't tabbed, just listen to get it.

H: Hammer on

P: Pull off

tr: Trill

/: Slide up

\: Slide Down

~: Let Ring
