Desert Rose Bass

(ver. 1)
Sting
Tuning: Normal

This song has alot of different small variations in 
different verses, but are pretty much the same 
throughout, this is my very best transcript of how it 
is played. And you have to listen very carefully 
because it's not very easy to hear Sting's bass in this
 song, so timing can really mess you up on this tab. 
The order the riffs are played in are listed at the 
bottom.
