Charles Mingus – Haitian Fight Song Bass tab

hey, charles mingus would probably punch me for doing this, but someone on youtube asked for tabs for the intro of this song, so i decided to write it down really fast. you should try to find the score, i have it somewhere.. there is a charles mingus fakebook being sold around, its very good. anyway
here are the 3 diffrent parts of the intro, its not in the order it’s played, but if you know this song, you will figure it out. also i tabbed it the way it’s played on upright bass, you may play the open strings as closed.

the (12) is an overtone (G)

charles mingus uses the G blues scale alot, in an incredible way!
have fun
