Artist: Flyleaf
Song: All Around me
Bass Tab
Tuning: Standard EADG
Difficulty: Novice
Tabbed by Cocktail
The Bass follows the rhythm guitar pattern pretty much, playing the fundamental note of
chords basically is all you got to do.
At some points I am not completely sure about the tab; however, it is much better than
other bass tabs for this song and it sounds nice in my ears. If you disagree, feel free
modify yourself.
There are some variations during the prechorus and verses, I didn't list them all. They
to be played spontanous. ;)

Now this can be a bit tricky, look at the text to follow the rhythm.

Prechorus 2:
Like Prechorus 1, just play the first part three times instead of two.
Bridge:
This is sung pretty fast so the text will not help you vermy much, again listen to the
if you have problems.
G|-----------------------|
D|4---44--7---787--------|
A|----------------5-55-5~| (the rhythm guitar doesn't play this final note,
E|-----------------------| but continues with something else. You don't.)
This was a lot of work and the first song I tabbed, hope you esteem that...
Again, this is not completely what is played, there are some minor variations, but I
he played them spontanously, and so should you. In addition, it would have been too much
to list. ;)
Enjoy and please rate!
