Green Day – Hitchin A Ride (Bass Tab)

Versions (6)

Auto-scroll

Artist: Green Day Song: Hitchin' A Ride Album: Originally: Nimrod, Now also on: International Superhits Bassist: Mike Dirnt (User: MikeDirntG3) I have seen a lot of bass tabs for this song over time, but none of them have seemed completely correct. I decided to tab this out to put the correct version out there. I found this tab in a "Guitar" magazine from Jan '98, and since they are usually completely correct, I am totally confident that this tab is totally correct. If not, oh well, tab it yourself.
[Intro] Violin, then (before vocals)
