Dave Matthews Band - Dont Drink The Water bass tab

"Don't Drink the Water" Bass Tab

Dave Matthews Band

Before These Crowded Streets

Tabbed by: TheMixer33

Stephan Lessard is an AMAZING bassist. He has so many fills in this

song, it would be almost impossible to tab them all out. I did my

best to tab them, but the CD kinda hides the bass in this song. It's

not vary easy to hear. These are the basics for the song, so make

stuff up. For Godssake, be creative!
