"Don't Drink the Water" Bass Tab
Dave Matthews Band
Before These Crowded Streets
Tabbed by: TheMixer33 <themixer33@yahoo.com>

Stephan Lessard is an AMAZING bassist.  He has so many fills in this
song, it would be almost impossible to tab them all out.  I did my
best to tab them, but the CD kinda hides the bass in this song.  It's
not vary easy to hear.  These are the basics for the song, so make
stuff up.  For Godssake, be creative!
