THE ROOTS AND THE RUINS (Bassline)

As recorded by Karate

(From the 2000 Album UNSOLVED)

This is a fun one to play because of the ties across

the barline that characterize the verses. In measure

24 there are some very lightly played accentuations

notated with parentheses. These reoccur throughout the

rest of the piece, usually on the A chord, and can be

thrown in as you see fit.
