Dreamgirl chords by Dave Matthews Band

Chords with lyrics

Album: Stand Up
Tabbed by: Ian Socha

Standard Tuning
h - hammer on
s - slide

Listen to the song for the timing of the intro/chorus

riff, he plays behind the beat on a few notes, more
towards the end of the riff (after the last note on
the D MajorD string just slide up a few frets & let go just
before repeating the riff). I think I got the basic
chords down, they seem to sound better with the bottom
two strings muted - let me know if you find something
that works better. Have fun...

Intro/Chorus riff:

e --------------------------------------
BB --------------------------------------
G+G --------------------------------------
D MajorD -9-7-6---6h7-6-------6-4-2---2h4-2s---
A augmentedA -------7-------7---4-------4----------
E MajorE --------------------------------------


Verse:

E MajorE                              A augmentedA
I would dig a hole all the way to China

                       E MajorE
Unless of course I was there

                A augmentedA
Then I'd dig my way home

      E MajorE
If by digging I could steal

A augmentedA                              E MajorE
The wind from the sails of the greedy men

             A augmentedA
Who rule the world


Bridge:

                E MajorE          BB   A augmentedA
Still you're my best friend

            E MajorE          BB   A augmentedA
And after a good, good drunk, you and me

     E MajorE           BB            A augmentedA
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep

            E MajorE
Where I was dreaming, I was dreaming


Of a dreamgirl


Intro/Chorus Riff played over E MajorE and A augmentedA


For each orchestra hit (they play 5 quickly) on the

break in the song after the 2nd chorus (about 2:30
into the track), I just play an F#F# power chord
(244xxx)

Again, the CD just came out & I'm sure there's better
ways to play it, hopefully the intro/chorus riff will
help get you started.
