This is the bass tablature for the single version of I Need More Time by The
Meters. All I know is that it appears on the 2005 album Funkify Your Life: The
Meters Anthology, and is track no. 14. I have also included the notes but they can be ignored.

Key
h - hammer on
* - start of a new bar

I think this tab is pretty accurate. I know there is a not or two missing from bridge 
but it still sound good. Please leave a rating to let others know what you think of this
