Maria bass tab by Green Day

Bass tabs

Song: Maria
Artist: Green Day
Album: International Superhits
Tabbed by: Joey

This is the first song I've ever tabbed out. I try to be precise, so if you
notice anything that is incorrect, please contact me. I tried to tab it in a
way that someone who had never heard the song could play it. Mike plays this
song with a pick.
