Lightning Bass

(ver. 1)
Dispatch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Standard
5/4 Time Signature (I’m not going to map out the beats, you can figure it out)
  I decided to tab this song because there is no tab for it and its fun to play. I 
don’t have it exactly right, but it sounds fine. The | bars aren’t always a measure,
so keep that in mind. Theres not much to say... Have fun...
