This is my first tab, but I spent hours on it and I think it’s the best I could make it. I tried to make the
tab as clear as possible, but if you know the song you should get how to play it. This is the first .moneen.
tab, I think, rock on moneen!

Band: Moneen
Album: The Theory of Harmonial Value (Smallman Records)
Song: The Passing Of America 
Bassist: Chris “Nu Chris” Slorach (NOT Erik Hughes, Erik replaced Nu Chris for Are Really Happy..., but Nu
Chris played on this album and song.

Tuning: Standard

Count: 3/4 for most of the song, I couldn’t tell what the interlude or ending was, it didn’t seem to be 3/4
or 4/4, but if you listen you can probably tell how to play it.

~ = let ring
 = slide down

That’s it, just play it in that order and listen to the song a few times and you should be good. I’m not 100%
sure the interlude is right, but it’s as good as I could tab it. If it’s wrong, you figure it out, if I can
tab this song, anyone can. This is an awesome song by an awesome band. MONEEN!
