Close To The Edge by Yes bass tab (text):

Ta-da!  Here it is.  The transcription for all of Yes'
"Close to the Edge".  Let me give a little advice for 
folks that want to play it:

- Some parts are really easy to play, but overall the song
  will take a fair amount of work to get down.  
- for those hard parts, the transcription alone won't do it.
  you'll need to  listen to the song (probably a zillion 
  times) to get Chris' phrasing down.  It's tough!  And his
  tone doesn't make it any easier (trust me on this one).

Anyway, there's two or three little fills that I missed. 
Sorry.  If anyone has any comments on this, please mail me.
Enjoy!
