Sting - Desert Rose bass tab

Song: Desert Rose

Artist: Sting with Cheb Mami

Album: Brand New Day (2000 i believe)

Tabbed by: Steven Benoit (MikeDirntRulez@yahoo.com)

Tuning: Normal

This song has alot of different small variations in

different verses, but are pretty much the same

throughout, this is my very best transcript of how it

is played. And you have to listen very carefully

because it's not very easy to hear Sting's bass in this

song, so timing can really mess you up on this tab.

The order the riffs are played in are listed at the

bottom.
