Gardening at Night

R.e.m.
Bass Tab

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

REM's gardening at night off Eponymous

bass tabbed by unknown@bellatlantic.net

corrections would be appreciated

note- each '-' represents a half beat

-for a tab that is like this:

			d|5-5 -44-4 -2|  represents a dotted eighth
			a|--- - --- - |  sixteenth rythmn

intro (after the soft guitar picking intro;; this follows the

same rythmn as the "chorded" guitar if i tabbed it

wrong)
