Version: 2 Type: Bass Tab

Turning Japanese Bass Tab

I took v1 of this tab and did major surgery on it so it matches what's actually being
played in the recording by The Vapors. I have mostly opted against open strings, both 
for better tone and better fretboard positioning, except when distance makes it more
practical to play the open string. Use whatever fingering you are most comfortable
with, but these are the notes.
