this is the way i play this song. it may or may not be right but it sounds
very close to the listener supported version. it's a fairly straightforward
tune with little variation. i think it's purpose is to be a good jam to fire
up crowds and such. i have a five string bass and that's what stefan plays
(Modulus Quantum 5) for this song (at least on listener supported) so that's
how i'll tab it. for the notes below low E, i'll include a alternate
fingering in parenthesis for those who don't have a five string.
/ = slide up
= slide down
(x) = alternate fingering with "x" being the fret #.
Intro:
No bass part, except for some quick slide—fills here and there.
Verse — play it very staccato and with a lot of bounce:
G——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D————————————————————5——————————————5——5—————6—————6———————————
A——————5——6——7——8——————5————————————————————————————————repeat—
E———6—————————————————————————3——3————————4—————4—————4————————
B——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Chorus, (very easy):
G——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A———(6)—————————————(6)—(6)——(3)—(5)(6)(6)————(6)——————————————
E—————————(1)—(1)(0)———————————————————————(1)————(1)(1)(1)(3)—
B————4————/6———6——5——4———4———1———3——4——4——/6—4——/6——6——6——8——
jump back to verse
Bridge, play VERY bouncy:
G————————3—————3———————————————————————————————————————————————
D———————————2—————2——————————————————————————————————repeat————
A———1——————————————————0——1——2——3—————————6——7——8——————4x——————
E——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
B——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
back to chorus
o.k. that's it. as i said, very straightforward song. fun to jam to. if you
play this and it sounds wrong, email me. i tabbed this from memory without
my bass being present. 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.
