"Santa Fe"
From the Musical "RENT"
As heard on the Origonal Broadway Cast recording.
Transcribed by AlanTheWise


this is made to be played with a hint of personality and variation,
so by no means should you be constrained to playing it note for note.
that's why i only tabbed out the first main riff and the first chorus.
all of the other repeats are exact same structure with little one-note
changes here and there. it's all up to the bassist.

any and all corrections are welcome!!


play it with SOUL. and don't use a pick. It's gotta be smoooooth...
