Sing (Bass Tab) - Travis
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey all, long time user of the site posting my first tab :)
Painstakingly tabbed by ear, but I'm satisfied that it's accurate, so tell me what you think!
The song can be broken down to two riffs; one for the verse, and one for the chorus.
There's some cool syncopated rhythms at play here, so I've attempted to account for the timing.
Each bar consists of 16 dashes, representing a semi-quaver (re: 16th note).
So, four dashes equals one quarter note, four of which go into each bar.
So without further ado, here's the tab!
Tuning: Standard Tuning
Verse (8 Bars)
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

D|----------------|------2---------|----------------|----------------|
A|2---2---------0-|2-4-------4-2---|----------------|----------------|
E|----------------|----------------|5---5---------0-|5-0-5-----0-5-0-|
Towards the end of the song, there are some slight variations to each of the riffs.
Just replace the last four bars of each the Verse and the Chorus with;
Variation (Verse)
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|--------4---4-2-|--2-------------|----------------|----------------|
A|2---2-----------|----4---2---0---|----------------|----------------|

D|--------4---4-2-|--2-------------|----------------|----------------|
A|2---2-----------|----4---2-------|0---0-----------|----------------|
E|----------------|------------2---|--------------0-|5-0-5-----0-5-0-|
When they bring the song down before the final chorus, just play some variation of;
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A|----------------|2---------------|2---------------|----------------|
E|2---------------|----------------|----------------|2---------------|
Cheers all, happy playing!
