    played with accustic part

big man with a gun
 
 

here's big man with a gun.  it's a fairly short song, so the

transcription is short as well.  the first line below is the

basic keyboard line, tabbed to bass.

i appoligize in advance for anyone trying to learn

this, as the timing is really weird, and very hard

for me to transcribe.  i guess the only thing that

i can suggest would be to practice by playing along

with the tape/CD.

               Slide until end of bar

            The slides are an imitation of the synth sounds
            I play them on a frettless bass and do a very hard
            and slow slide while playing the open E-string
