Lyrics:
THERE I WAS, BACK IN THE WILD AGAIN
I FELT RIGHT AT HOME WHERE I BELONG
I HAD THAT FEELING COMING OVER ME AGAIN
JUST LIKE IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
THE SPIRIT OF THE WOODS IS LIKE AN OLD GOOD FRIEND
IT MAKES ME FEEL WARM AND GOOD INSIDE
I KNEW HIS NAME AND IT WAS GOOD TO SEE HIM AGAIN
CAUSE IN THE WIND HE'S STILL ALIVE
OH FRED BEAR
WALK WITH ME
DOWN THE TRAILS AGAIN
TAKE ME BACK WHERE I BELONG
FRED BEAR
I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU AT MY SIDE MY FRIEND
AND I'LL JOIN YOU IN THE BIG HUNT BEFORE TOO LONG
BEFORE TO LONG
IT WAS KIND OF DARK, ANOTHER MISTY DUSK
IT CAME FROM A TANGLE DOWN BELOW
I TRIED TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING HE TAUGHT ME SO WELL
I HAD TO DECIDE WHICH WAY TO GO
WAS I ALONE OR IN A HUNTER'S DREAM
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH WAS HERE AND NOW
I FELT HIS TOUCH, I FELT HIS GUIDING HAND
THE BUCK WAS MINE FOREVERMORE
WE'RE NOT ALONE WHEN WE'RE IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS
WE GOT HIS SPIRIT WE GOT HIS SOUL
HE WILL GUIDE OUR STEPS
GUIDE OUR ARROWS HOME
THE RESTLESS SPIRIT FOREVER ROAMS
IN THE WIND, HE'S STILL ALIVE

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------| D|-------------------| A|---3---------------| E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------| D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------| D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------| D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.
Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
