Bass tabs
This song is a very easy and fun song to jam to.
There are three "main" progressions, but Michael
(the bassist of the Flaming Lips) plays different
variations throughout. Rather than tab all of those
variations every time they happen, I'll just give
you the main progressions, and some of the
variations he does. Enjoy!
