The Riverboat Song Ver 3 by Ocean Colour Scene

Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song ver 3 bass tab 


This is pretty much bang on!!!!  I play this live with my band, and it always 
goes down VERY well!!!!!!

It looks a little intimidationg, as the structure is quite complex, but 
this song is EASY!!  It is the same riff in 5 different positions.  Learn them 
one at a time, and then try and put them together.

Good luck.

This is my first ever tab!!!!!!!!
