"Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine, 1992.
bass tab in drop-D tuning


Freedom has got to be one of my all-time favorite Rage songs, and a perfect
ending to their 1st album. The bass part takes a little practice to get
right, and I've noticed that Riff 1 takes some pretty lanky fingers (open,
3rd, and 5th frets on the fourth string.) so consider practicing some finger
exercises.
