The ending is the same as the intro.

This song is played using two hand tapping. The note values are listed above the tabs.

There is not a note plucked in it. I didn't bother to write down which hand and

finger does what. But just to get you started the first chords

on the intro are played using your left hand to tap the top two

strings and the right hand to tap the bottom two. If you have any

questions please email me www.Zene23@freeport.com and I will try

to answer them the best I can. This peice is far from exact. I

love Stu Hamm's ability and playing. He is by far my favorite

player and this song has really opened the doors to what is

possible on the bass guitar. -Zene
