The Jam – Circus (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

Seems complex at first but surprisingly simple once you get into it. Kinda hard to describe which bit's which 'cause it's all instrumental, but play it and it should be clear. Bruce slightly changed how he did certain bits and certain notes each time they played it, but this is pretty much how it goes in general. [Intro/main riff]
