/=slide up to
h=hammer
p=pulloff
(X)=note slid from, or signification of end of a held note.
Ok, this is just about the hardest one to figure out of all of the
songs I've heard by this band. I hope this is enjoyed by all. BTW,
judging from the way the slides up the neck sound, I think this is
played on a fretless. Good luck.
Here we go....
OK. The bass comes in with the lyrics, right after the little
snare intro thing.

And back to the verse again. These comprise all the riffs in the song. Just
Listen along, and you'll get it in no time. The placement is easy to hear, so
you should have no problem.
Have fun!

*****************************************
Dave Matthews Band, sometimes shortened to DMB, is an American rock band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. Founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, violinist Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. In August 2008, LeRoi Moore died due to complications from an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore's spot as the band's saxophonist. Rashawn Ross and Tim Reynolds have also become full time touring members of the band. With musicians who each have roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop, the band has come together to create an eclectic sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters.
