Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

by Lou Reed from the album Transformer Bass Guitar - Klaus Voormann Tuba - Herbie Flowers Transcribed by Stannos Because you don't often find a tuba player when you need one, I've bodged together the tuba and bass parts. The opening notes of the verse are achieved by bending the C up to a D and back again. [Verse 1]
