The Jam – All Around The World (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

"All Around The World" by The Jam, released in single format in 1977. Note: The studio version of this song is about 50 cents sharp, but I've tabbed it in G, which is how The Jam played it live. Also note the counts below the bars, as I sometimes write out 16th notes, like in the last bar of verse 2. x = Dead note / = Slide up [Intro]
