Song: walk on the wild side
By: lou reed

This was really tough to tab, because it is actually played with two basses, but I did a good job. If you notice any flaws, please let me know. I indicated which bass is playing what. 

Bass 1 is an upright acoustic
Bass 2 is a fretless electric

~let note ring      /slide

Rest for 8 measures, go directly into verse
