Band: the Who
Song: Baba O'Riley
Album: Who's Next
Tuning: Standard
I made this tab a long long time ago, but after looking
at it recently I noticed some faults and made a fair few changes, but now I believe it's
about 98% correct. Fully tabbed by ear, and the result of many sweaty bass sessions.
Good luck.
