Tuning: Normal [GDAE]
Hello bass players who likes funny songs! :)
This is actually my first tab so it might be a bit confusing. But I've tried
to make it understandable and satisfying.
I've tabbed it after the Benny Hill version on YouTube which is the first to
come up when you type in Benny Hill.
If you have another version or just want to jam to it just take the parts
that match.
During the bridges no bass is playing but if you want you could always try
some of the different parts and see which ones fit.
The bass is playing a simple beat which is 8 beat per measure. The other
notes during fills should be played faster and they differ between the
different verses.
How the parts are played:
