Freedom Or Fire

Bass Tab
4.6(3)

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

The bass here, as usual, follows the guitar melody pretty well. There

should be few trouble spots in this tab. Just try to keep your stamina

up towards the end. Also, feel free to make octave substitutions, such

as...

|-----instead-of-----0--|
|-5---------------------|

...as it may be easier to play. I included more open D strings to give

the bass a more resonating effect. Have fun!

Tune all strings down a perfect fifth (A, D, G, C)
