Long Story but...need your help..?

[Stippy]

Hi,

 

Fairly nooby player so forgive me...!

 

To cut a very long & boring story short, I'm basically after a bass tab for the song Telescope sung by Harden Panetierre (from the show Nashville)...

 

I can't find it anywhere & need to learn it as a surprise for someone...if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it...

Do you need the actual bass part or does this help?

I can understand why there's no bass tab for this, as it's in the category 'Country', where it's only root-five, which means playing, basically, the same note as the chord being played. Here's a guitar tab, useful as it has the lyrics, with the chord played inserted. All you have to do is play that note ('D' for any Dm, 'G' for any G etc...) at the right time, which you can easily find by playing along to the video. There's a slight 'hic', though : it's being played in Dm, so it would be best played on a 5-string bass, unless you tune a 4-string bass down one whole tone.
Have a look at the tab linked and see what it inspires. They don't come much easier to ply than this, even for beginners, so Good Luck with it. Here's hoping it wows the 'someone' targeted..!  

 

'Telescope' guitar tab with lyrics...

There's just four notes in it: D (5th fret A string), C (3rd fret A string), G, and bottom D. Stays on D in the verse, then D C G in the chorus. You could get away without the bottom D - as Dad says, you'd want a 5-string bass (or 4-string tuned BEAD) or tune the bottom string down to D. If you do want to include the bottom Ds, you need to have a good listen to see where they come in.
