Papercut
5 String Bass - Standard Tuning
Tabbed by: PitchImperfect

Here's my take on Papercut. I've tried to be as detailed as possible even down to the
note differences (you can see that on the outro).
The intro and chorus don’t sound right at first. At first I thought it went:
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|-------76-62--2-2-----2h4-----|
E|----------------------4-------|
B|-2-2-2------------------------|
But it didn’t quite sound right. If you listen really carefully you can hear it is
how I’ve written it below.
You might want to play it the way I’ve written it above, it kinda sounds better, but I
you the one below is more accurate.
Also you can play the outro in 3 different hand positions. I’ve written the one I find
most comfortable and sounds the best on my bass.
Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.

You might find it more comfortable
