Song: House of Fun Artist: Madness Tabbed by: Þórir H. Bergsson This song is mighty fun and, if done well, the bass can doodle a bit in between these which are all exactly like on the record. You can move the notes lower or higher on the neck of the bass as you wish, but since tends to play higher up on the neck and I hate two-digit numbers in tabs I wrote it like this: [Intro]
