Final Fantasy V (SNES) - Battle on the Big Bridge BASS TAB
(A.K.A. Battle with Gilgamesh)
Song by Nobuo Uematsu
Tabbed by auriplane ([email protected])
The intro to this song requires a low B string, but I made a version
for four-string bass which is transposed an octave up. I'll put the
four-string version first since that's what most people will want, but
to play it note-for-note you should do the five-string version.
Four-string bass, standard tuning.
(Scroll down for five-string version)
The intro is in 3/4 time.
