Babel - Mumford and Sons
Tabbed by: Theo Ellis
E-mail: teddy.p.ellis@gmail.com

This is my first tab, me and my guitarist figured this out from watching them play it live because we
couldn't find a bass tab online, if you find any errors feel free to email me :)
All The repeats ( X2 ) are for Riff 1 not the whole line.
