If You Run Bass

(ver. 1)
The Boxer Rebellion
If You Run by The Boxer Rebellion
Bass guitar played by Adam Harrison
Taken from the album Going The Distance

Adam Harrison always comes up with incredible bass lines. Having just seen him yesterday 
in Montréal, I can say he certainly knows when to take the spot and when to avoid 
overdoing things.
While this song is straightforward, I'm working on a bass tab (guitar pro format) for 
Step Out Of The Car, where his chords couldn't be more powerful. The rhythm of that bass 
line is quite complicated for my level, but I hope to post it soon.

Standard tuning.

Chorus 1 - The bass comes in at in at 1 min. 11 sec.
