––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OH MESSY LIFE – Cap'n Jazz ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Tabbed by: Joe Owens E–mail: joeowens994@hotmail.com Just by listening to the song and jamming on my bass, I'm fairly sure I've figured out the bass parts. Email me corrections if you've got a better idea than me. I suggest listening to the song as you play the notes to get a proper feel for the rhythm because for the most part this tab will only give you a basic idea of how it should go.
