                             TREADING WATER - Spiritual Beggars
                                    From the album - Demons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The timing and structure are not 100% accurate, this is an outline, you need
to listen to where the parts go and proper timing.  This bass tab is not note
for note, the bass line is pretty busy.  If you want to know all the fills, it
will be great practice for your ear.  The bass in the song is also very hard 
to hear in the mix, it is very deep. 

There are only a couple riffs, you'll have to listen for their placement. 
I am also very bad at naming sections, so don't flame me for it. 
The solo riff is just the main riff moved up one whole step.  I put an approx
time so you have some reference in the tab.
The song closes  on the low open C.

Tuning: Drop C (Down one whole step with a drop D) tab is in relation to that
