Prometheus by The Mechanisms

Bass tabs

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Intro:

 Welcome back, punks and rebels, you're listening to Radio Free Ilium, broadcasting whenever we can on
whatever
 frequencies we can hack. Let's start with a song for the haters out there who, uh, polish Olympian Spears.
 The government may say he's a crook, but we know who the real crooks are.
 You all know this one: it's Prometheus by TLS!
