Sade - Smooth Operator
BASS TAB

by Philipp Jardas (philipp@jardas.de)

This is just a small one to give the basic feeling of the song. Most of it
is played ad lib, the tabs given are examples of how you could play it. The
solo is indeed played completely different, but I found it easier to use
this way to play it, though you won't be able to use the slides the (damn
good) bassist uses in the original song.
