         Title : Funky Avocado - Bass Tab
        Artist : Micheal Hedges
         Album : Breakfast In The Fields
NOTES: I believe this is played on a five string bass by Michael Manring.
Hedges detunes his top string to a low B to match the low B on the bass
guitar. I haven?t seen this tab any where on the net, so enjoy all you
hedges fans!!!
This is tabbed to show the various phrases of the tune it?ll be
up to you to work out the timing. This tab is not perfect but all
 the parts are there and I think is fairly accurate.
