AJJ (Andrew Jackson Jihad) – Big Bird (Bass Tab)

Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

So here's the bass tab as I play it. Putting in occasional slides makes it sound better, however they can go at any time. The notes move with note changes of the synthesizer/piano notes unless there is rhythm at the bottom. A cappella intro : I'm afraid of the way that I live my life I'm afraid of the way I don't I'm afraid of the thing that I wanna do but I won't I'm afraid of God I'm afraid to believe And I'm afraid of all the loved ones that I've made leave I'm afraid that my dog doesn't love me anymore
I'm afraid of the social laziness that let Kitty Genovese die
