Enola Gay Bass

Enola Gay
1980 single released by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD). Song
peaked at number 8 in UK Charts. Bass performance Andy McCluskey.
Tab by bass50611. After looking at other tabs on UG thought it was time
to write a tab nearer the original bass line that follows the rhythm of kick drum.
