UB40 – Gator Instrumental (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

A great UB40 B-Side for the single 'Homely Girl' from 1989 called 'Gator (instrumental)', It`s real dominant yet very simple but effective and holds well against the Drums and the numerous Keyboards. [Intro] Effects happen for a while then four Bass Drum kicks happen with the opening Effects still going as the Drums start fully and Keyboards begin for eight bars until this repeated Bass line.
