Dear Ms. Leading
The Dear Hunter
Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading

Tabbed By : fender4string
Tuning: Standard

My favorite song off of a fantastic album and a fun bassline.  Enjoy.


Intro
*I added the open E to the octave as I believe it makes it sound more full.
Whether or not this is actually the bassline I don't know but feel free to
simply ignore the deep E.

*The third phrase of the bridge (below) ends with a staccato phrasing that I
had trouble putting to paper.  I'm close but not perfect.  Listen to the song
for the timing.
