Drones In The Valley Bass

(ver. 2)
Cage The Elephant

This is my first tab, although I haven't seen any tabs of this song. It's a really 
great Cage tune and is an excellently written bass riff. Enjoy! (Might be somewhat 
inaccurate and is definitely unfinished.)
Intro
The introduction to this song is somewhat simple if you figure out the right 
technique for playing the note on the G string after the hammer on. I play it by 
barring my index finger over the 7th fret of the D and G strings at the same time, 
then plucking those notes away.
G/-----------------7----------------------/
D/----7-9-9-----7h9-9-7-------------------/
A/---------------------7-77-5-7--7-77-5-7-/
E/-7-7------7-77---------------0---------0/

Intro Pt. 2
This part is just plunking away on those notes. Daniel mixes it up a bit with 
those octaves on the open E string. Make sure you stop the open note from ringing 
too long, using your thumb, or it'll sound really muddy.

Verse
Basically a simplified second part of the intro, with a slight bend on the second 
time going to the A string from the E
