We have an official Lonely Is The Night tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Great bass tune by Billy and Co.
 
Tabbed by: BASSteve
 
Tuning: EADG
 
Time signature: 4/4
 
r = rest (listen for duration)
h = hammer on
/ = slide (low to high)
\ = slide (high to low)
()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
 
 
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.

Thanks for the bass tab. This is a great song. I play the guitar and could never find a good tab for this song so I decided to put together a GuitarPro tab with all the instruments including the bass. I used your tab. I only found one mistake. The little bass run in the verses is 12(D)-11(Db); not 12(D)-10(C). I should have my file up within the next month or so. Check it out and rate if you get a chance. Thanks again. Growlnutz
Yes, you are right. A typo that I repeated throughout. Thanks - will change.
