Tuning: Drop D, D A D G
Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold
From the album City Of Evil (2005)
Written by M. Shadows and The Rev
All rights belong to their respective owners
Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen
Tuning: Drop D (DADG)
I have based this tab on the bass track and live performances you can find in Youtube, so it
should be pretty much 100% correct. I highly recommend to play this song with a pick (it would
take a lot of stamina to play with fingers). Johnny plays this song with a bit of distorted tone;
he doesn't tend to use any distortion box, he just turns the gain up a bit. On the interlude
sections play with clean tone and apply some chorus effect if possible.
