Yes - Sound Chaser bass tab
Standard Tuning: EADG
Artist: Yes
All bass arrangments: Chris Squire
Album: Relayer (1974)
Okay....this is a tough one. I recommend listening to it first,
to get the timing, groove, etc... because theres no chance in
hell I'm tabing out every time signature. I also can't guarantee
that everything is perfect, this is just the basic framework
of all of the riffs. Also I recommend using a pick for the of getting
these fast open notes down and for the sake of Chris' tone. Unless
of course you have Geddy Lee fingers.
(00:00 - 01:05)

(3:03 - 6:16) GUITAR SOLO (Little to no bass)

the rest is keyboards:

"cha cha chaaa cha cha, cha cha chaaa cha cha hugghhhhh"
(7:43 : 8:43)
Enter Patrick Moraz's keyboard solo which is wicked in its
own right, complimented by a infectiously groovy bass riff.
This part is really open to interpretation, since Chris is
just jamming with this part, use all the muted notes that
you please.
The basic riff is:
