The Undertones
Bass Tab

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

Song

This is tabbed in standard tuning. I've tried to give an impression of the

rythmn by repeating the notes together ie, --55-5555- are all in the first fret.

The bass starts at the same time as the guitar, and just after the drum intro.

A note on the outro:

some people use an ascending scale instead of the same notes, do whatever feels

best to you.
