'One By One' by Alter Bridge written by Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy on the album 'Blackbird' Tabbed by jjhand Bass Tuning - A C# G# C# F# Brian uses a different tuning playing this live - similar to drop D but with a different low B string tuning. All strings tuned down from standard 1 fret but the 4th is down 3 frets and the 5th string tuned down 2 frets to get the lowest tone in the chorus. Most of this song can be played with a 4 string bass. See him play around 2:00 in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK4xkO2o1co Intro F#|------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------| C#|------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------| G#|------------------------|------------------------6-|-5~----------------8-6--| C#|-0---0---0---0---3-1--3-|-1~--0-0---0---0---1-0----|-----0-0---0---0--------| A |------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |-1-1-------3-3----------| |------3-3-------5-5--5--| |------------------------| Verse Intro F#|------------------------------------------| C#|------------------------------------------| G#|------------------------------------------| C#|-0----------------------------------------| hold for 4 bars A |------------------------------------------| Verse Riff pt 2 (0:35) F#|--------------------------|------------------------------| C#|--------------------------|------------------------------| G#|-1-1------------1-1-------|------------------------------| C#|----------2--5------------|-5-5------0--2--5-5-----------| A |--------------------------|------------------------------| Main Verse Riff F#|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| C#|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G#|-3-----5-----3-----5---------7-|-3-----5-----3-----5-----------| C#|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-7-8---|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-7-8-7-| A |-------------------------------|-------------------------------| F#|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| C#|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G#|-3-----5-----3-----5---------7-|-3-----5-0-----3h5-----3-3-----| C#|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-7-8---|---0-0-------------------------| A |-------------------------------|-------------------------------| Prechorus F#|--------------------------|---------------------------| C#|--------------------------|---------------------------| G#|-1-1------------1-1-------|--------------hold---------| C#|----------2--5------------|-5-5------0--2-----5-------| A |--------------------------|---------------------------| Chorus F#|------------------------|------------------------| C#|------------------------|------------------------| G#|------------------------|------------------------| C#|-3----3---3-3-3--3-3--3-|------------------------| A |------------------------|-2----2----2-2---2-2--2-| 1st ending 2nd F#|--------------------------|---------------------| |-------------------| C#|--------------------------|---------------------| |-------------------| G#|--------------------------|---------------------| |-------------------| C#|-0----0---0-0-0-----0--0--|----------------8-10\| |-----------8-8-8-8-| A |--------------------------|-0---0----0--0-------| |-0-----------------| Play Main Verse Riff - First 2 bars 4x Play Verse Riff Pt 2 Play Main Verse Riff Complete Play Prechorus Play Chorus Again Lead-in to Bridge |------------------------| |------------------------| |-1-1-------3-3----------| then play Intro 2x |------3-3-------5-5--5--| |------------------------| Final Chorus F#|-------------------|------------------------|------------------------| C#|-------------------|------------------------|------------------------| G#|-------------------|------------------------|------------------------| C#|-3________/10------|------------------------|-0----0---0-0-0---0--0--| A |-------------------|-2----2----2-2---2-2--2-|------------------------| "One By One..."
