Artist: OverKill Song: Gasoline Dream Album: W.F.O. Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman Tuning: EADG While looking for some tabs on the internet, I found a guitar tab to 'Gasoline Dream', I think it was on dsrmusic.com, but that one had so much mistakes, that I didn't find that one useful for a bass tab. At least it contained nothing I didn't know. So it felt natural to do my own tab of my personal highlight from 1994's 'W.F.O'-album. This is probably one of the only tunes I play in "normal" E-tuning, since that makes the song like a million times easier Unlike most of the 'W.F.O.'-album, closer 'Gasoline Dream' is mostly a mid-tempo tune (though it has a fast part in the middle) and I think that adds a dangerous atmosphere to the song. It also makes playing it a little easier :) It starts out with all the instruments.

Practice makes perfect though.
