/ Primus / Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991) / Tommy the Cat bass tab
Tommy the Cat
by Primus
from the CD Sailing The Seas of Cheese
Tabbed by The Great god_of_discord@hotmail
aka Geoff McLeod

I've noticed that nobody has transcribed this very well,
so I've taken the liberty to do so.

Arranged for a four-string.

T: Thumb Slap
P: Index Pop
S: Downstroke(Strum)
U: Upstroke(Strum)
+: Right Hand Tap

(Technically, you need to drop to B for the next part.
But you can do it with your E. You just have to mute it.)
