Cage the Elephant – Night Running (Bass Tab)

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

Bassist: Andrew Tichenor Album: Social Cues (Not yet released) Very simple bass line and fun to play. Can't here much of a bassline during the chorus, feels more like isolated root notes and the beginning of each bar. Take your liberty from playing whatever you want there. Enjoy!
