Chord/Tab song: Sin

Stone Temple Pilots - 'Sin'
From the debut album 'Core'
Standard Bass Tuning
tabbed by jjhand

The acoustic part towards the end has to be the hardest part of the song.
Robert really has some nice bass runs in this song, so your picking fingers
may get a workout. Please rate/comment.
