Cry Like A Baby Bass

(ver. 1)
Boxtops




NOTE: This tune is worth learning because it has two really nice bass solos. 
This is not intended to be an exact tab, only the basics. Listen to the tune 
and you will hear subtle variation in the bass parts after the intro. Listen 
closely and you will hear some really tasty timing use of the major scale, 
fifths and double plucking. At the end of the tab I added a sample of the 
variations the bass player uses in the melody. It appears to be the basis for 
the solo too. This tune is fun to play, and it's a great tune. Hope you enjoy 
it.
