Soul Man
Welcome to my tab of this Sam & Dave classic. Song written
by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. Reached number 1 in USA, 26
In UK. Bass performance Donald (Duck) Dunn along with Booker T
& the MGs. Tab by bass50611. Not exact as original, but very close
Listen for the rhythm of the triplets in the bridge.
