BEE-BEE'S SONG by Sonic Youth Bass tab by Chris Lawrence (silvercircle@shaw.ca) Thurston plays the bass on this song.

Thurston's bass is clean again, playing the main C riff eight times. The riff continues but they come to a sudden stop halfway through, ending on the D# note, sliding back from the 6th fret on the A string. ------------------------------------------------ THE SONIC YOUTH GUITAR/BASS TABLATURE ARCHIVE: http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/tab/index.html ------------------------------------------------
