Mumford And Sons – Dust Bowl Dance chords

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------                             Dustbowl Dance – Mumford & Sons-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tabbed by: Brian KircherE-mail: b.t.kircher@gmail.com

Tuning: Standard

This is 100% correct as far as the key and root notes. However, as a bass player you can 
obviously embellish and add your own style.

You’re playing the root notes throughout entire song. Here’s a tabbed view.

G|---------------------------|D|---------------------------|A|--3--------6-----3---------|E|-----4--6-----1-----1--3---|

I like to include the minor 7th at the beginning of the measure. I also double up on 
some notes, but the point is that as long as you’re hitting the root notes – you can make 
this song your own.


    C        G#             A#           D#The young man stands on the edge of his porch
    F        C            F         GThe days were short and the father was gone
          C            G#        A#             D#There was no one in the town and no one in the field
     F           C             F           GThis dusty barren land had given all it could yield


Bass comes in at the end of Vs 1 (0:33)

          C            G#           A#         D#I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
    F          C               F               GAnd I have no idea where else my heart could have been
  C            G#            A#            D#I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
     F      C               F       GAnd now I am sure my heart can never be still
   C           G#              A#         D#So collect your courage and collect your horse
     F            C             F        GAnd pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

(Bass is quiet during the first chorus)

Chorus 1
C      G#         A#        D#Seal my heart and brake my pride
     F         C            F         GI've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
 C      G#         A#        D#Align my heart, my body, my mind
   F             C       F    GTo face what I've done and do my time

      C        G#            A#          D#Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
F             C            F        GYour opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
   C      G#         A#         D#So one man has and another has not
F          C           F          GHow can you love what it is you have got
         C          G#             A#            D#When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
F        C                   F         GLiars and thieves you know not what is in store

      C          G#           A#            D#There will come a time I will look in your eye
    F               C           F         GYou will pray to the God that you always denied
    C          G#             A#      D#The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
               F      C               F   GI'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

C      G#         A#        D#Seal my heart and brake my pride
     F         C            F         GI've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
 C      G#         A#        D#Align my heart, my body, my mind
   F             C       F    GTo face what I've done and do my time
