Standard tuning

Comments: Regardless of who played this part, and I donīt think itīs Gene,
he had a relatively easy job. Sure, there are a few minor variations but all
in all this is a breeze, kind of the ultimate live song for the bass player.
Just pump open Aīs for three fourths of the song and wave to the crowd. This
Song was previously tabbed by Greg Miranda and his tab missed the few 
variations that do occur and was, in my mind, kind of hard to read. No part 
of his original tab has been used in this one.
