Machu Picchu Bass

(ver. 1)

            	     The Strokes - Angles - Machu Picchu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: STANDARD

I'm loving the new album, so I figured I'd crack out some new bass tabs. 

There are slight variations for the verses. There are a couple slides, but the main 
riff is here. I'm sure you guys can figure out those out yourselves.
