Brown Sugar bass tab by The Rolling Stones

Bass tabs

It was hard to hear exactly what Bill Wyman was doing here since the
original recording is a bit mushy but I tried to transcribe a bass
line consistent with his style.

Tabbed by: BASSteve

Tuning: EADG

Time signature: 4/4

r = rest (listen for duration)
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)


*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
