It's Just A Thought Bass

(ver. 1)
Creedence Clearwater Revival
"I taught this to myself by ear, so there might be a few discrepancies with the original 
bass-line. Also I did not put any time measures, so I would play by feeling and 
listening.(Sometimes notes are closer together, these you should play faster)


Symbols used:
r: let it ring
*: stacato
h: hammer-on
p: pull-off
%: fill-in (specified on tab)
