Help! I want to add an artist/song, but I don't know how
Are we missing a song you want? Request it!

You can play using standard tuning, but it's a bit harder to slap. And it will be 2 semitones higher.

You can play this on the bass guitar too.

Note: x = slap. But, slap WITHOUT any ringing pitch (i.e. a slap and hold it against the fretboard). Basically, hit the string down with your thumb, and let go only after a split second. It should create a non-pitched sound, something that covers for the drums.

REPEAT OVER AND OVER

(Listen to the song to get the tempo)

A
When the night has come
F#m
And the land is dark
D                   E    A
And the moon is the only light we'll see
                     F#m
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
D            E            A
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

You should be able to get the tempo right from now on, since the notes don't change throughout the whole song.
