Hustle and Cuss The Dead Weather Sea of Cowards ---------------- Bassist: Jack Lawrence 'LJ' Tabbed by: jcg5026 Standard Tuning No Distortion needed. ------------------- Note: to get the right sound, use a pick. The bass starts the song off. Riff 1: G|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -| D|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -| A|-7 - 5 - - - 7- 7 - 7-7 -5 - --| E|- - - - -7 - - - - - - - - 7- 0| Repeat until about 0:29 then play this only once Riff 2 G|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --| D|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --| A|-7 - 5 - - - 7- 7 - 7- - - - - - - -| E|- - - - -7 - - - - - - -3 - - 5 - -0| There's a pause, then go back to playing the first riff. G|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -| D|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -| A|-7 - 5 - - - 7- 7 - 7-7 -5 - --| E|- - - - -7 - - - - - - - - 7- 0| At 0:56 play the second riff again once. Then back to playing Riff 1... you get the idea. Just repeat this pattern throughout most of the song. At some points in the song, you can hear a low G (E| 3) at the end of the first riff, especially at around 1:35, but it's not every time. So it would be: G|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----| D|- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----| A|-7 - 5 - - - 7- 7 - 7-7 -5 - -----| E|- - - - -7 - - - - - - - - 7- 0 -3| I'm not 100% sure what goes on at 2:19, I just play the open E string. But then it resumes with Riff 1 at 2:29. There is a break at 3:00, no bass until 3:20 I hope this wasn't too confusing, but if you listen closely to the song, you should be to figure it out pretty easily.
