Rem - Radio Song bass tab
Song: Radio Song
Band: R.E.M.
Album: Out of Time (1992)
Difficulty: *** (Fairly easy and very sweet. So sweet that, in fact, it is
fat in the "p-h" sense of the word. ...Okay, I promise to NEVER say that again.
Anyway, a few little slaps here and there are added near the end, which adds
a little...something...to the..stuff. Yyyyeah.)
