Story of my Life Bass Tabs- Social Distortion This is my first tab. I've seen a couple of bass tabs for this song and although they sound like the actual song, it alwasy seemed to me as if it was missing certain parts. So I took the time to figure it out on my own. This is how I hear and play it. Listen to the song so you can understand it better. If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected] INTRO
