Tokyo Bass

(ver. 1)
Imagine Dragons
Alright, another great Imagine Dragons song. The fills here get pretty damn tricky, 
gonna have to listen and feel it out. You can of course just play the half notes at every 
two (+)beats if you prefer and it will sound fine.

The last 35 seconds are all fills and improvisation to build up to the end, not worth 
tabbing out. Either repeat the above lines to the end or experiment with your own!
