Kraid's Lair (Metroid) Bass Tab

                        Metroid - Kraid's Lair BASS TAB 
                           Song by Hiro "Hip" Tanaka

I was surprised nobody on GameTabs had done this!  I think there were five
tabs, but no one had done a bass transcription.

A literal transcription needs a six-string bass, because of the double
octaves.  So I made two versions; the four-string version is ALMOST the exact
song.  The only difference is it has single octaves instead of double octaves
on the third bar.

I notated this song in 3/8 time, so each "measure" is a dotted quarter,
divided into three eighth notes.
