Is This The Way To Amarillo Bass Tab

Is This The Way To Amarillo
Song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. Worldwide hit for
Tony Christie in the seventies and a massive UK number 1 with Peter Kay
in 2005 for comic relief becoming the top selling single of that year.
Tab by bass50611.  More or less as per original recording.
Note plenty slides and may perhaps suit a fretless bass.
