Bass tabs
Song: Hit The City Artist: Mark Lanegan Band Album: Bubblegum Tabbed By: Mason Beasley ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard (EADG) Okay, this is a simple, yet amazingly good song. What a riff. Of course the tuning is arguable, seeing as these guys are known for playing in C, but just for the sake of ease, I'm tabbing it in standard. By all means, transpose to your heart's content. I'm fairly sure its correct. To get a sound similar to what is achieved on the album, I use some tasteful overdrive. If you don't mind picks, try all downstrokes. I've also included the correct lyrics.
