Megadeth - Youthanasia

Youthanasia by Megadeth From the album Youthanasia (1994) Written by Dave Mustaine All rights belong to their respective owners Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen I have based this tab on the bass track you can find in Youtube, so it should be pretty much 100% correct. Note that you don't necessarily need a 5-string bass for this. Down tuned 4-string does the job just as well.
