Artist: Kodaline
Song: The Answer
Tuning: Standard
The other tab was great but there changes in the bass strings that weren't
accounted for so I thought I'd post a new one.
Note:
The bridge is what I think it sounds like. I sure some of the bass notes were
played by another bass guitar or something but it sounds fine the way I tabbed.
For the outro, listen to the song to get the way he plays. He doesn't start the
riff until he sings 'bit'.
The song ends with the G chord.

Verse 2 (Repeat Verse 1 tabs):
Use your mind and make it talk
Cause in this world it's all you've got
And we all fall down
from the highest clouds
to the lowest ground
Loneliness is worst of all
When you've got no one else to call
Feeling kind of sad
when the times are bad
times are getting bad
