None of them
Ok, so I really love this bass part and was disappointed to find that there were no tabs for it online. I decided to tab it myself and then I felt bad that there were no tabs online for anyone else because its such an awesome song. I tried to get as much of the variations as possible, although I'm sure I missed some of them. If you don't want to bother learning all the little nuances, just play the first line of each section for the whole part. Or you could always improvise your own little riffs~ Song: This Is Why We Fight Artist: The Decemberists Album: The King Is Dead Tabbed by A.Bandit Intro: G
