BASS TAB

This was put together from "Club America", "Club America (roxy mix) and some
live footage of the track. Ok this was my attempt at this it might not be
too good in places but you get the idea... hopefully! At least it's an
attempt :)

Intro

Big slide (on the A-string) from the 2nd or 3rd fret to the 7th or 9th (you
choose it's just a bit of improv) then launch staight into the "main bass" riff below.

A:|5-5/9-9-9-9---------|5-5/7-7-7-7-------|

"And it's not too hard to guess....."

Now this bit i'm sure goes from the 2nd fret to the 7th on the A.... I have
2 versions for this part one is VERY BASIC the other i'm not too sure
about... as I said it wasn't too good in places!
