Classical Gas

Mason Williams

Text File

What's up everyone, my name's Chris LaBenne, and this is my bass tab for the song "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. I'm a 14 year old beginner, and this is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure it's correct. I'm not sure that a bass is really used in the song, but it sounds great when you play it. Just don't turn up the distortion on the bass and it'll sound fine.

So, that's what I've got. I think it's pretty good considering I just began bass guitar about a week ago. If there's any problems with it, E-mail me at HeyNaBenne8@aol.com.
