Tuning:Standard 5-string (BEADG)
This song CAN be played on a 4 string in drop-D tuning, however I have seen them
live and he plays it on a 5-string.
Ironically he has the same type of 5-string bass that I own, so I tabbed it for a
5-string.
This was my first tab, but i worked really hard to make it perfect. If you have
any questions or suggestions feel free to email me.
First half of the song:
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|-----6h4-6--------------|
E|---------------6--4--6--| X repeat until around 2:46
B|--4---------------------| (the final note played when it stops is the 4 on the B string,
almost as if he is going to do it again and stops.)
2 seconds of rest before this starts at around 2:48:
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|------------6--4--6--| x7 (ends 1 measure before the singing comes back in)
B|---4-4---------------| ("hit" the 4s on the B string to get the grizzly "thump" sound.
The index finger works perfectly, and is actually what he does)
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------| x9
B|---4-4---------------| (again, do the "hit" thing)
This again
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------| x repeat until 1 measure after the lead singer says "laid in the dirt"
E|------------6--4--6--| you stop almost exactly at 4:18
B|---4-4---------------| (still do the hit on the B string)
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------| x7
B|---4-4---------------|
Final note:
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
B|---4~~~~~~~~---------| (it rings out for a while)
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~~~ let note ring out
