Air – Kelly Watch The Stars (Bass Tab)

Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

For the intro I had to use drop C, this doesn't sound much like Air as I know them but an octave higher on the intro just sounds wrong. Obviously it's still the same notes - just higher - so you can play it like that if you want. I reckon he's using a five-string, which I haven't got and it's only the intro that uses the fifth string anyway. Check at the bottom for the order of play. / = Slide up \ = Slide down \\ = Slide down slowly r = Let the note ring Intro
