/ Dead Kennedys / Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (1980) / When Ya Get Drafted bass tab

Bass tab for "When ya get Drafted" by the Dead Kennedys
from "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables"

I worked this out from someone's guitar tab, but I can't remember
who's, I think it was Rambozo's, but whoever it was most of the credit
must go to them. Thanks, Nick

This mostly right, I'm not too sure about the timing on the solo bit
i think it might be different from the rest of the song. I've tried to tab
out the rhythm correctly, notes together (-55-) are 16ths, notes a space
apart (-5-5) are 8ths etc, but it might be wrong in places.

P.S.
The guitar solo goes like this

I bet no-one finds it in here.
