Queen - Headlong bass tab
HEADLONG
QUEEN
WRITTEN BY QUEEN
TABBED BY PETE COSGROVE
John Play's two parts over some parts of the song using a 5 string bass
I have tabbed out both sections so play either - it does sound better using a 5 string though
(if you have one)
But if using a 4 string be carefull - best thing to do is save and delete the 5th string notes
temp - 144bpm
intro 1st Chorus
