Tubular Bells Solo bass tab by Mike Oldfield

Bass tabs

Tubular Bells Finale bass - Mike Oldfield

I'm no bass player but watching the 1973 live performance and a
recent interview, it looks like Mike is sometime playing the open
E and A and sometime the note 1 octave above. Also it looks mostly
picked (plucked) with some slides. No hammer-ons or pull-offs.

So I think something like this:

Timing:
