------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN - Michael Jackson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Walter Ian Kaye E-mail: walter@natural-innovations.com Tuning: standard Played with a brief syncopation-like rest between notes. [Where I placed one note above another is where I am unsure of how to fret the note; I am not a bass player, I just love the song. Fret it however you like.] G|------------------|---------10-------|------------------|---------10-------| D|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------| A|------------------|-8----------------|------------------|-8----------------| E|-1----------------|------------------|-1----------------|------------------| Ben, the two...
