Night Shift > bass

transcribed by Drew Mandela (Drew114@comcast.net)

Here is the tab for one of O.A.R.'s greatest live songs.
Every once in a while, the bass player will throw in a variation or two,
but he usually just hits the same note a couple extra times. Enjoy!

Intro:

D---------------------------------------------------
A----------5-5---7-7--------------------------------
E--5-3-5--------------------------------------------


Verse: (He plays two separate basslines and switches off to the other one each time)

Part A:
G---------------------------------------------------
