/ Helmet / Meantime (1992) / You Borrowed bass tab

This is my first tab, please rate it!

You Borrowed is an extremely simple one-string song with a beat that is easy to follow; you just follow the guitar (if you hear the song you'll know exactly where to place the sound).  I've kind of altered it for the reason that it could be the exact same tab as the official one, so I've changed it for the better. The way I've changed it sounds better, I even played it live and Imp keeping it the way I've changed it.

Make sure that you drop the e string, not too low, but low enough to give it a flatter sound.

R = ring
S = quick note

In the distorted part that happens after this simply tap away at the e string with no frets just so it doesn't stop ringing

Once again just tap at the e string to keep it ringing until the song ends
