Miracles Out Of Nowhere bass tab by Kansas

MIRACLES OUT OF NOWHERE - Kansas


Tuning: Standard

Being a Kansas song, the timings are complex and would take far too long to completely
notate. I've given a general idea of spacing - with the assistance of an audio track for
the song itself, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out.

[note - I've included two different tabs for the fugue, since many notes can be played on open strings, and it
depends on the player's preference. Personally, I find a mix most comfortable.]
