Rage Against The Machine - Calm Like A Bomb bass tab

Calm Like a bomb

By Rage Against The Machine

From the album Battle of Los Angeles

This is the complete song/correction. I added the Solo, and changed the

riff's to closer match the song and make them easier to play. There is

an occasional very low note that makes me think it could be tuned in

Drop D, but I've tabbed it in Standard Tuning.

The order of the riffs was taken from the version by
