Mark Lanegan - Hit The City Bass guitar tab

========================================================================================

Song: Hit The City

Artist: Mark Lanegan Band

Album: Bubblegum

Tabbed By: Mason Beasley (webmaster at tabs-database.com.com)

Date: 10/01/07

Tuning: Standard (EADG)

Okay, this is a simple, yet amazingly good song. What a riff.

Of course the tuning is arguable, seeing as these guys are known

for playing in C, but just for the sake of ease, I'm tabbing it

in standard. By all means, transpose to your heart's content. I'm

fairly sure its correct.

To get a sound similar to what is achieved on the album, I use

some tasteful overdrive. If you don't mind picks, try all downstrokes.

I've also included the correct lyrics.
