This is the bass line for House Of The Rising Sun.
Time is 6/8 120bpm. Each note is a full measure.
Since it's the bass line, it sounds better in the
lower octave, but you can play it higher to avoid
the bends if you want. Play it six times through.

I also find it sonds good to tongue the notes in

half in sync with the song.
