Pinball Wizard Bass

(ver. 1)
The Who
I can guarantee this is the most accurate bass tab you'll find here. Some of the timing 
is a little tricky,
I did my best to try to give you a rough idea though.
This is my first tab, but I figured it out by listening to the master for John's bass.

Thanks for checking it out!
