(Elaboration is welcome)

\=slide down
/=slide up

First of all, I don't know what is happening during the chorus as
I am tabbing this by ear through a Discman. If anyone know, please
help.


The bass first enters into the song with the drums after the long intro.
It goes as follows:

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|----------------|
D|-0---------------|----------------|
A|-----------------|-1-------3------| Repeat 4 times.
E|-----------------|-------------3--|
B|-----------------|----------------|


This is followed by the pre-verse/guitar-solo rif:

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-5-------5-----3-|-5-------5-----3-| Repeat up to the verse.
E|-------------5---|-------------5---| You can substitute the D on the B string
B|-----3-----------|-----3-----------| for an A on the E string


..And the verse rif--lots of fun to play. And remember, this is a two-step beat,
as in 'Radar Love' and stuff like that.


1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-3---3---3---3---|-2-2-2-2-2-2-0---|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|---------------3-|-0-------5-------|-3---5-3-1-------|
E|---5---5---5---5-|-----------------|-----------------|-------------3---|
B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-------------0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-0---|-----------------|-----------------|
A|---3---3---3-----|---------------3-|-0-------5-------|-3---5-3-1-------|
E|-1---1---1-------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------3---|
B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|
A|---------1-------|-0---------------| ...And back into the pre-vers/Solo thing.
E|-1---------------|---------3---1---|
B|-----------------|-----------------|

I'm afraid that the end of measures #2 and #6 are ended with slides and such.
You'll just have to elaborate on it how you like. Most of the stuff Stefan does
is purely adlib from what I hear (slides and hammers and the like) so make up what you
think sounds good.

Long live Dave Mattews!
