Theologians bass tab


Recommended Posts

I worked out a bass tab for Theologians. The verse isn't exactly how it's played in the song but I think it sounds good!

Hope someone finds this useful..

 

edit: fixed last bar .. treat the 5 of 5/7 as a grace note and don't hit the 7, just slide to it. You'll get it!
