------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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) It is simply double time what you have been playing. (8th notes? ? I am just beginning Music Theory) G|---------------------------| D|---------------------------| A|--3--------6-----3---------| E|-----4--6-----1-----1--3---| 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 Again - Give it a good thump! It is simply double time what you have been playing. (8th notes? ? I am just beginning Music Theory) G|---------------------------| x8 D|---------------------------| A|--3--------6-----3---------| E|-----4--6-----1-----1--3---| C G# A# D# Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me F C F G I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen C G# A# D# I went out back and I got my gun F C F G I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son" | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
