            Song:	Leader of Men
          Atrist:	Nickelback
          Tuning:	Standard 5-string bass (B, E, A, D, G)

 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


 Verse 1 (Tell your friends not to think out loud...) (0:14)
 G|------------------------------------------|
 D|------------------------------------------|
 A|------------------------------------------|
 E|------------------------------------------|
 B|--5~-~-~-~--8~-~-~-~--3~-~-~-~--5~-~-~-~--|

 
 Build up towards next verse (0:58)
 G|-------------------|
 D|-------------------|
 A|-------------------| (Hit these notes hard for effect!!!)
 E|-------------------|
 B|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|

 
 Verse 2 (Turn your television off...) (1:00) (played in the same rhythem as the bass drum)
 G|-----------------------------------------------------|
 D|-----------------------------------------------------|
 A|-----------------------------------------------------|
 E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 B|--5m-5m-5-5-5-8m-8m-8-8-8/3m-3m-3-3-3-5m-5m-5-5-5-5--|


 (instrumental before verses with distorted guitar) (1:42)
 G|-----------------|
 D|-----------------|
 A|-----------------|  (x4)
 E|-----------------|
 B|--3h5--5-55--55--|

  Last 2 verses  (One day out to the cliff...) (1:52)
 G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----|

 Mike Kroeger does some little loops tawards the end of the song which can be done simply
 by strumming B on the 12th fret and 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!
