Bass tabs
This is a really simple tab, the same chords throughout.
You can finger pick a bit while you strum to make it sound pretty,
whatever works for you! As always, comments and improvements welcome.
Remember it's meant to be easy to play, so nothing too complex (though any improvements are great!)
:) Happy tunes! kayleighscanvas
