Any interest in tab for Little Wing transposed to bass?

So I'm gigging with my own new band of which I'm the frontman, and we do my original music, but I've been pulling out a few old covers to add to the mix, and one thing I used to do was a version of Little Wing, transposed to bass. It sounds like this:

Please excuse the crummy direct recording, I know my bass sounds like crap direct, I'm just in the middle of a gear transition in my apartment so I don't have a recording amp in my apartment today.

Anyways I don't normally use tablature and I haven't used any in a long time, I mostly just play by ear, but I did once tab this out for myself (that's how I transposed it), so I could transcribe this again I suppose if I wanted to if anyone was interested.

I chose this piece because it's been a good one for me to open up a whole new level for myself of colorful chord comp/chord melody on the four string bass. Maybe there's other people out there that feel they could benefit from studying this piece? Let me know!

sounds good. i saw a video on youtube of a guy two hand tapping ( on bass) little wing. Little Wimg is the best intro ever.

Tapping on Little Wing? That's like sacrilege!

Is there any decent software for creating tablature that is free for windows? Otherwise I'll have to do what I can in .txt format.

The first thing to know about this song is it's in Eb minor. My bass is tuned Eb Ab Db Gb. You can easily play it the same way in standard though, but as far as listening to the recording and trying to figure it out you'll need to be dropped down a half step.

Ah, I spent a couple seconds trying to figure out how to make that software do what I wanted it to and I figured it'd be faster to just do it as a text file. So here it is! Check it out.
