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 .
youre playing the root notes throughout entire song . heres 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 youre hitting the root notes you can make
this song your own .
C G# A# D#
the young man stands on the edge of his porch
F C F G
the days were short and the father was gone
C G# A# D#
there was no one in the town and no one in the field
F C F G
this dusty barren land had given all it could yield
bass comes in at the end of vs 1 ( 0 : 33 )
C G# A# D#
i’ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
F C F G
and i have no idea where else my heart could have been
C G# A# D#
i placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
F C F G
and now i Am sure my heart can never be still
C G# A# D#
so collect your courage and collect your horse
F C F G
and pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
( bass is quiet during the first chorus )
chorus 1
C G# A# D#
seal my heart and brake my pride
F C F G
i’ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
C G# A# D#
align my heart , my body , my mind
F C F G
to face what i’ve done and do my time
C G# A# D#
well you are my accuser , now look in my face
F C F G
your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
C G# A# D#
so one man has and another has not
F C F G
how can you love what it is you have got
C G# A# D#
when you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
F C F G
liars and thieves you know not what is in store
C G# A# D#
there will come a time i will look in your eye
F C F G
you will pray to the god that you always denied
C G# A# D#
the i’ll go out back and i’ll get my gun
F C F G
i’ll say , “you haven’t met me , i Am the only son”
C G# A# D#
seal my heart and brake my pride
F C F G
i’ve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
C G# A# D#
align my heart , my body , my mind
F C F G
to face what i’ve done and do my time
( instrumental bridge )
