Free Fall

Bass TAB in the keys of Fm and Cm like the original song, in 4/4 time, tabbed for a 4-string bass in  
standard EADG tuning. This is my personal interpretation of the bassline. 

|--|--|--|--| = 8th note measures (i.e. for 8th notes, half notes, and whole notes). 
|-----|-----| = 16th note measures (i.e. 8th note measures zoomed in to allow for spacing 16th notes). 

* = The previous note is silenced.       
x = A muted string is played without pressing any note. 
> = The note is accented. 


{Intro - 00:00-00:25} The song starts in the key of Fm.
