Aint That A Kick In The Head

Ain?t That a Kick in the Head

Dean Martin/Robbie Williams

Bass Tab by Jam

Standard Tuning

This Robbie Williams version of Dean Martin's Ain't That a Kick in the Head is in a slightly higher key so 
you'll have to take it down a semitone (one fret) if you want to play along to Dean's version. I will try and
re-do this tab so that it suits Dean's version shortly!

Each bar is split into 16 so I have tried to represent the note timing, lyric wise due to the formatting I cant
get the words in quite the right place but they are more for reference anyway!
