Track 4: "Dreams of Our Fathers" Album: Everyday By: Dave Matthews Band Tabbed/Transcribed by: Zack Parsons This is all my own work. And work it was :). It's Dave. Anyway - This first part is the verse. It's hard to keep up with at first, but just listen to the record and get in the 'groove' of the song. Listen to the tempo and just wave your picking hand at that same speed. Worry about the notes secondly. I couldn't decided which sounded better: playing the A or D string open (7th*/8th* note). Whichever you like, play. Also, he hits a few additional open strings, I think, that I didn't take the time to tab out. Just waving your hand at that tempo should make you hit them inadvertently anyway :). Enjoy.
-- Standard Tuning. -- Verse thru-out song. E -2------------------------------------------ A --------2-------O*------------------------ D --2--4---2--4-----2*-----------4--2--4--- G-----------------------2-x-x-O------------- B--------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------- CHORUS: A, D, G, F* (I don't know what to call it offhand.) F* = (2/x/O/2/x/x) - Remember Trippin Billies/Too Much/2 Step? I followed Dave's vocals more than I did the guitar. It makes a great live/acoustic effect with the whole vocal/guitar harmony. (For the Bridge.) BRIDGE: (Barre) G, F#, G, A, G, F#. Whew! That's all there is to that. I know it's not perfect, so if you have any corrections/comments post 'em. (This is the first tab I've posted, by the way, so be gentle.) If anyone actually finds this to be useful/a good tab, by all means, let me know at zparsons@kscable.com -or- zparsons@cox.net Thanks, all and have fun with it! (Hey! Ethan, Tyler, Tom, Jon, and everyone else who's suffered through my incessant playing, hehe.) Frustration is a byproduct of effort, and pride the product. -ZP
