Super Castlevania IV - Clockwork Mansion BASS TAB
              Song by Sotaro Tojima and Masanori Oodachi

                Tabbed by auriplane (crystal@panix.com)

This song is in 12/8 time.  This is a compound time, but it's much
more readable as a tab if I subdivide, so I tabbed it as though
it's in 4/8 time.  So each measure is four eighth notes.

Part of the song is played with a double bass, so I marked that
part "upright" and only used four strings there.  You can just
ignore that and play it on one bass, or change your sound there
or whatever.

This tab is based on the soundtrack version.  I hope this way of
showing repeats is a little easier to read (assuming anyone ever
plays the tabs I upload . . . :-)

Five-string bass, standard tuning.

The song keeps repeating and fades out here.
