                      Chrono Trigger - Main Theme BASS TAB
                           Song by Yasunori Mitsuda

                    Tabbed by auriplane ([email protected])

This is based on the soundtrack version.  The version that plays in the 
game's intro is the same, except that Part A repeats three times instead 
of two.  So, if you're playing along with the SNES, pretend I wrote 3x.

This song is pretty simple, just don't let your ear be confused by the
timpani into thinking you should be playing notes when you're not.

Five-string bass, standard tuning.

The previous "11" that started on the second row i copied here was wrong, probably a misstype and if you slide down to 7 on the third string instead of playing the 12 you'll be in position for the next 7-9-10 that comes on the next row already. Good job though!
