The Coral – Dream Lover (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

Recorded specially for Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 breakfast show 30th April 2021, this cover by Liverpool based band The Coral of Bobby Darin’s Fifties Classic. Bass performance Paul Duffy. Tab by bass50611. Although an excellent cover the bass is very muffled so this is how I would play it. You will find the recording on Youtube
