Bass tabs
Title: The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box Artist: Modest Mouse Album: Strangers to Ourselves Tabbed by: Jon R (Jay3213 on UG) Hey guys! I was bummed out when I couldn't find bass tabs for this great song, so I tabbed it out myself. I believe it is 99% accurate. The picking technique/rate isn't something you can really tab out, but it's easy to learn from listening to the song. If you see any errors, please notify me in the comments and i'll fix them. This song is so fun on bass, hope you guys enjoy playing along.
