WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Tenacious D - Wonderboy Bass | Ver. 1
Notes: Long Live the D! This song is in dropped-D tuning. The
bass line evolves throughout the song. It kicks ass,
but I don't think Steve McDonald played anything the
same way twice, so bear with me.

Free Time (3:24) I'll be honest with you, I don't have the patience
G----------------------------------------- to figure this part out
D-------------------12-12---12----12------ exactly. It works though.
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5/------5/---------12\-- It might even be correct
D------------------------------12--------- for one of the measures.
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & My suggestion: improv.

Hats off to you if you've actually read everything I have down
here. Some of it I'm sure is absolutely correct, other parts may
be a slightly off because I couldn't hear them. E-mail me with any
comments, suggestions, or corrections.
