Artist: Opeth
Album: Morningrise
Song: To Bid You Farewell
Tuning: Dropped D (D-A-D-G)
Tabbed by: Mikko Heikkinen (gordian@iobox.fi)
Notes: This tab is mostly complete and kinda correct. I left out some
licks and odd notes here and there, but if you can play this song you
should damn well be able to improvise the missing parts.
Things would be so much easier if everyone had a 5-string bass. Since
not everyone does (myself included), I tabbed the song for 4-strings,
with a dropped D-tuning.
