Double Bass Mumford and sons?

Does anyone know where you can get free or cheap sheet music for Mumford and Sons for double bass? I can't read tabs very well. I went to Bills music and they said they could order me music and they could only find it for piano guitar and ukelele:/ can anyone help?
Thanks,
Makayla

Since you can read bass clef, use the piano music. The bass part will be right there in the lower staff. There will probably be other stuff there, too, because the piano left hand often plays bass AND chords, but it won't be hard to pick out. Any characteristic bass lines that identify the tune will be there if the source is any good.

All of the rest of the parts will be there too, which makes it a superior investment over just the bass music.

Thanks Bruce I was thinking about that because I'm going to learn how to play piano and I would get two parts out of buying it but I wasn't sure how different it would be
