This song is a lot of fun. It took a while to tab it out since it’s a bit hard to
between the two basses and I’m using a guitar not a bass. =X
The song uses two basses, and I think the keyboardist too, but I’m not going to tab any
the keys.
I’m tabbing Ben’s lead bass part, I’m pretty sure the other bass just plays the root
of each of ben’s leads.
