Hit Me Baby One More Time bass tab by Britney Spears

• Tuning: Drop C (CGCF)

Song: Hit Me Baby One More Time
Artist: Britney Spears
Album: …Baby One More Time


I put the piano part in for timing references; they are optional in playing (I believe).

(This doesn’t have to be in Drop C to play, it’s just how I tabbed it(it’s easier and
the sounds fuller with the low c). for standard just play the Breakdown slide an octave
higher, and shift everything else down a step, with the low C down two steps.)
