The Ancient (Giants Under The Sun) - Yes
From: Tales From Topograpic Oceans
Bass Tab - Matthew Gilmore

This tablature includes time indicators.  These are based solely on playback and may vary
between recordings.  As extra aid, the intro drum count is included.

This tablature includes a section with overdubed content.  This is noted in that section.

This song uses a wah-wah pedal for several parts. I will note these changes in a future
revision.

~ = Sustain this note, vibrato if desired

There is no guarantee that this is 100% right but I spent a great deal of time working on it
so please, if you have any constructive comments or criticism, I'd greatly appreciate it to 
better iron out this track.
