------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dustbowl Dance - Mumford & Sons ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Brian Kircher E-mail: b.t.kircher@gmail.com Tuning: Standard This is 100% correct as far as the key and root notes. However, as a bass player you can obviously embellish and add your own style. You're playing the root notes throughout entire song. Here's a tabbed view. G|---------------------------| D|---------------------------| A|--3--------6-----3---------| E|-----4--6-----1-----1--3---| I like to include the minor 7th at the beginning of the measure. I also double up on some notes, but the point is that as long as you're hitting the root notes - you can make this song your own.
