Yes, my friends. Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder is now tabbed. Anyone
who has heard this song knows that it is amazingly difficult on the bass,
but here it is in its full glory. Of course, there may be mistakes,
but that’s understandable on a challenge such as this, man. Here we go:

And that’s it! I totally devoted my life to figuring out this masterpiece of a
song, so I’m pretty sure it’s almost 100% correct. If you catch anything,
send a correction. This is my first tab in like a year, so hopefully it's all good.
