5 Hollywood Actors Who Are Into Metal
Afinação: E A D GCapotraste: Sem capotraste
1967 single release for Motown legends The Four Tops. Peaked at number
26 in UK Charts. Bass performance James Jamerson. Tab by bass50611. Not exact
to Jamerson’s recorded bass line but it sure fits the song, more of a
simplified version and how I would play it with a band.
