Bass tabs
Civil Twilight - Fire Escape
Tabbed by: Artur A.
Tuning: standard
This is the entire song, several bits of it repeat many times but I think this format is the easiest to follow.
You have to listen to the song to get the exact rhythm down.
This is my cover I made after tabbing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4sZYAiAIJI
