Autumn Leaves bass tab by The Goo Goo Dolls

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)


Listen to the song for exact timing and rhythm.

E|-1--&--2--&--3--&--4--&--|-1--&--2--&--3--&--4--&--|-1--&--2--&--3--&--4--&--|-1--&--2--&--3--&--4--&--|

I reference both the studio album as well as live recordings (when available) to ensure the proper "tonality".
