Alter Bridge - 'Rise Today' Bass part
From 'Blackbird' EP
tabbed by jjhand

I saw many requests for this so I figured it out. Let me know what you think!

5-string bass, normal tuning (or tune a normal bass to BEAD)


First line of lyrics of verse 1 is just guitar.
Second line, "Feels like we're all alone ..." is when bass comes in

 Verse 1:
