Ozric Transcriptions
If you can hum the tune, and know the rhythm, then this should help with the actual frets to play.

Bass line for "Kola B'Pep" as performed by Ozric Tentacles, as it appears on
the album _Afterswish_ (1991). This song originally appeared on _There Is
Nothing_ (1986). "Kola B'Pep" was written by Ed Wynne. I believe Roly Wynne played
bass on this song.
Tabbed by Tim Egan. Send any comments, suggestions, and especially
corrections to oddentity@worldnet.att.net.
Thanks to Mike V for teaching me how to play this song!
Once again, if you listen to the song you can figure out the timing of the notes.
Normal tuning (E-A-D-G)
First riff:
G------------|------------|-----------|-------------|
D------------|------------|-----------|-------------|
A------------|-----2-2-2--|-2-2-------|---0-0-0-0h2-|
E---0-0-0-0--|-0-0--------|-----3-3-3-|-3-----------|

A------------|-----2-2-2--|-2-2-------|---0-0-0h2-----|

And then on the last part of the "verse" add:
G-------<7>---------
