Song: Leader of Men
Atrist: Nickelback

All the other tabs posted for Leader of Men are all basicley wrong!
plus you have to mess about doing all that drop-D tuning, with this you simply use a
5-string bass. All the notes in the song are tabbed correctly, just not in the
format which they sound best when played.
Here's my version of "Leader of Men"
~ = Let note ring for one second
m = mute string

Mike Kroeger does some little loops tawards the end of the song which can be done simply
by strumming B on the 12th fretand then a little slide on your D string on the high frets,
while your guitarist backs you with the distorted verse.
Sounds good, plus you can make yourself look really good while doing this on stage!
And thats it! great song, so simple, i love it!

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 NICKELBACK 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.
