Artist: Violent Femmes
----------------------------------------------

ok, this is my 1st bass tab. this song has a good bass part, but i haven't found any postings for it, so i decided to figure it out myself. i'm pretty sure about most of this. it's a pretty easy song, and it's a bit repetitive. listen to the song for the timing.

Part 1:
