Aybe Sea - bass tab by Frank Zappa From Burnt Weeny Sandwich Arranged by Mark Hawling Email : mhawling@hotmail.com Well this was originally based on a Midi file I found, but I ended up producing an arrangement that could be reduced to guitar and bass (see the guitar tab file). So a quite few things got checked and changed in the process. (also bar lines are rough guides and don't correspond to the bars mostly.) For the opening melody bits ... and of course play it dramatically.. x2 ||---9--------------9--------------|---------------------||----------- ||*--------------------------------|--7-----------------*||----------- ||*--------7--------------------7--|--5-----------------*||----------- ||---------------------------------|---------------------||----------- This is the sort of different bridge bit. x2 ---------------|-----------------||---9-----------9---||-------------- ---------------|-----------------||*--9-----------9--*||-------------- 3--------------|--6--------------||*-----------------*||-------------- ---------------|-----------------||-------------------||-------------- these are where there are some guitar strums on the record.
