Convinced Of The Hex bass

Convinced Of The Hex

The Flaming Lips - Convinced of the Hex (bass tab)

This song is a very easy and fun song to jam to. 
There are three "main" progressions, but Michael
(the bassist of the Flaming Lips) plays different 
variations throughout. Rather than tab all of those 
variations every time they happen, I'll just give 
you the main progressions, and some of the 
variations he does. Enjoy!
