Down in Flames

Reel Big Fish
Bass Tab

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

Song

Artist: Reel Big Fish

Song: Down in Flames

Album: Why do they rock so hard?

Previously tabbed by: Jeff Lafleur

Correction by: Doug Brinkerhoff-BTA

The last tab was pretty good but it was incomplete. This is the complete
