Joel Billy

Joel Billy - Prelude bass tab

Song:  Prelude

Artist:  Billy Joel

Tabbed by:  Dave Porter (SuitsJones@juno.com)

This is my first tab, so please excuse the sloppiness.  Me and my friend

transcribed this song for our music technology class, so it should be close.

The bassist basically plays Billy?s left hand, so it?s easy to follow along

with and get the timing right.
