Album:   Tales From The Punchbowl
Year:    1995
Length:  4:24

Almost every tab I looked at was wrong for this classic song, so I decided to re-do it from scratch. It's pretty much all correct, some stuff may sound off. Nothing major. This tab is long pretty freaking long, so good luck with it.

Anyway, I played this song on a 5-string Ibanez BTB bass but Les plays it on a 4-string Fender Jazzmaster, seeing as the low end B and E strings are never used here.
