WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | R.E.M. - Leaving New York Bass | Ver. 1
Nice Song
The Tab is a bit lengthly , as I have included all the variations Mike plays.
I've got the timing as close as I possibly can. Listen to the CD if you have problems.
Mail me if you have any othe REM Bass Tab requests. I'll see what I can do.
