Billy Joel - You may be right

Another cool (albeit simple) bass line by the late, great Doug Stegmeyer of the original Billy Joel Band. Tabbed by: BASSteve *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.
