Primus - Mama Didn't Raise No Fool

Tabbed by Bryan Wenzel.


A lot of the 'Mama Didn't Raise No Fool' tabs on your site are good,
but not entirely accurate. I have tabbed the song myself. I believe
mine is very accurate, because it sounds the best. Most of the tabs on
this song are for a 5 string bass. This song is done on a 4 string,
down tune to D. If you would like to look at my tab and post it, here
it is.
