C'mon Billy - PJ Harvey
-------------------------
bass transcribed by Greg O'Beirne (gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au)
Note: This is only my interpretation of the basslines as they're
not that clear when you listen to it :) They also try and
incorporate the string sections, so if you're playing with
just bass and guitars you can get the overall sound of the
song. Listen to the recording for the timing. Have fun! :)

Note: On these last two lines, strike the bottom E pretty hard so
it buzzes a bit. Pick the quiet G normally, though :)
