God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Dio (BASS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Scotto10
Tuning: Drop D down 1/2 step [Db - Ab - Db - Gb OR C# - G# - C# - F#]
**Important note: I didn't realize until I was almost finished that it was
actually played on a 5 string bass. There were a last few notes that I found
could not be played in Drop Db so it has to be a 5 string.I didn't feel like
doing the whole thing over again so I am submitting it as a 4 string in drop Db.
Normally, I don't see a drop D tuning AND a fifth string so I assumed it to be a
4 string until the very end. It's ok though, because I'm sure most people do
not have a 5 string bass so this is for the masses and still sounds fine.
