How It Feels to be Something On (bass tab)
Tabbed by John D West
Courtesy of Treeclimbers Inc
by Sunny Day Real Estate
from the album How It Feels to be Something On

(*note: i broke this one up into measures, since based on the flowing nature of the bassline,
i figured that it would be easier to follow that way.)
