Songs: Ohia – The Black Crow (Bass Tab)

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

around the second half of verse 2, you can hear the transition between the second and third bar of each line slide down from the C# note to the G#. from this, it seems like the bass in the recording is probably in half-step down tuning. this tab is in standard. you can retune if you really want too, but it should sound fine regardless. [Intro] bass starts at 0:44
