The View (bass)
Tuning: E A D G
Capo: No capo
BPM: 200
Intro:
Don't you dare try to say that you understand,
Cause even if you think you do I don't think you can,
When you never gave a damn about the ground beneath your feet,
Or the life and times and souls of all the people that you meet,
And everything backfired,

Verse 2: Same As Verse 1
Was it really worth the pain,
You were left out in the pouring rain,
Again my friend but this time you deserve it,
Let it go just let it be,
Let it go and you'll be free,
Find the time to walk the line once again,
And everything backfired,
Chorus 2: Same As Chorus 1
Bridge: Let Each Note Ring
And oh how you tried,
And oh how your old self died,
And oh how she cried,
Over and over all the time,
And oh how you tried,
And oh how your old self died,
And oh how she cried,
Over and over all the time,

More Than Tabs
Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo
Audio Playback
Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.
Dual Notation
Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.
Practice Tools
Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
