                       THE ROOTS AND THE RUINS (Bassline)
                              As recorded by Karate
                         (From the 2000 Album UNSOLVED)


This is a fun one to play because of the ties across
the barline that characterize the verses. In measure
24 there are some very lightly played accentuations
notated with parentheses. These reoccur throughout the
rest of the piece, usually on the A chord, and can be
thrown in as you see fit.
