Dance With Me Bass Tab

SONG:   Dance With Me
ARTIST: The Sounds
ALBUM:  Living in America
YEAR:   2002
TRACK:  1
TUNING: GDAE (standard)


The bass is very hard to hear in this song and plays primarily a background role.
During the verse, you can periodically hear a funky slap lick, but I think that comes
from the guitar, not the bass. Whatever; here's the notes, play them as you wish.

  Funny how we've seem to made it
  Funny how we can even walk up straight
  Last night, you sat home waiting
  And I got home much too late
  Yeah, too late

  And so what if we loose our minds?
  And so what if it doesn't make much sense?
  At least we know we're lazy
  At least we know how to play
  We're so great

  I've always been told
  You will never grow old
  You live your life too fast
  I don't need to rest
  I'm not old and tired

  And I might never be the --
