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.

The ^Cyoung man^G# stands on the ^A#edge of his p^D#orch The ^Fdays were^C short and th^Fe father w^Gas gone There was ^Cno one in the^G# town and ^A#no one in the f^D#ield This ^Fdusty barren^C land had give^Fn all it cou^Gld yield

Bass comes in at the end of Vs 1 (0:33)

I've been ^Ckicked off my^G# land at the ^A#age of sixt^D#een And ^FI have no i^Cdea where else m^Fy heart could ha^Gve been I ^Cplaced all my^G# trust at the ^A#foot of this h^D#ill And n^Fow I am^C sure my heart c^Fan never^G be still So ^Ccollect your^G# courage and col^A#lect your h^D#orse And p^Fray you never^C feel this sam^Fe kind of^G remorse

(Bass is quiet during the first chorus) Chorus 1

^CSeal my^G# heart and ^A#brake my p^D#ride I've ^Fnowhere to^C stand and no^Fw nowhere ^Gto hide A^Clign my^G# heart, my ^A#body, my m^D#ind To ^Fface what I've^C done an^Fd do ^Gmy time

Well y^Cou are my^G# accuser, now ^A#look in my f^D#ace ^FYour opression^C reeks of you^Fr greed a^Gnd disgrace So ^Cone man^G# has and an^A#other has n^D#ot ^FHow can you^C love what i^Ft is you ha^Gve got When you ^Ctook it all^G# from the weak ^A#hands of the p^D#oor? ^FLiars and^C thieves you know no^Ft what is ^Gin store

There ^Cwill come a^G# time I will ^A#look in your e^D#ye You ^Fwill pray to the^C God that yo^Fu always d^Genied The ^CI'll go out^G# back and I'll ^A#get my g^D#un I'll say, "^F;You ha^Cven't met me, I ^Fam t^Ghe only son"

^CSeal my^G# heart and ^A#brake my p^D#ride I've ^Fnowhere to^C stand and no^Fw nowhere ^Gto hide A^Clign my^G# heart, my ^A#body, my m^D#ind To ^Fface what I've^C done an^Fd do ^Gmy 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---|

^CSeal my^G# heart and ^A#brake my p^D#ride I've ^Fnowhere to^C stand and no^Fw nowhere ^Gto hide A^Clign my^G# heart, my ^A#body, my m^D#ind To ^Fface what I've^C done an^Fd do ^Gmy 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---|

Well ^Cyes sir,^G# yes sir, ^A#yes it was m^D#e I ^Fknow what I've^C done, cause ^FI know what I'^Gve seen ^CI went out^G# back and I ^A#got my g^D#un I said, "^F;You ha^Cven't met me, I ^Fam t^Ghe only son"
