Dustbowl Dance – Mumford & Sons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
