CROWDED HOUSE - "dont dream its over" Tablature
Official CROWDED HOUSE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Don't Dream It's Over
Artist: Crowded House
Album: Recurring Dream, The Very Best Of
Tabbed by: Jason Mangan<jasonpmangan@hotmail.com>
Date: 17-2-2001
Bass should be in standard tuning, low to high E, A, D, G.
If you want to play along with the record you will have to tune your bass
sharp
(tighten strings). I originally tabbed it with my bass tuned down but it is
easier this way as you get to play some open strings.
I've tabbed the whole song here but the verses and choruses are basically
the same.
I also think that the song could have been played on a 5 string bass as a
few of the
notes in the chorus seem to be an octave lower. Four strings is enough for
the
average man like me though!

The End.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CROWDED HOUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
