Ben Folds Five - Uncle Walter Ver 2 bass tab

Your rating:

"Uncle Walter" by Ben Folds Five
tabbed by Meakim
(mustarang@aol.com)

    The tab that was up here for "Uncle Walter" was decent, but the song is
actually a lot easier than that (and they left out the solo).  And turn your
distortion on... this one's a lot of fun.
