Song: The Dreaming Tree
Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Before These Crowded Streets
Transcribed by: Ken Dunnington

 If you haven't heard it yet, it's worth a listen, though very different
 from their other stuff. This is my first tab, so be gentle :)

Chords used:
 I put both versions of the chords (where applicable) because I'm not
 sure which one is correct, but they both sound good.

 Verse chords:
 Dm: x00231 (or 577555)
 Am: x02210 (or 557765)

 These two are played during the main verses while Dave sings.
 The pattern is Dm/Dm/Am/Am for the whole verse.

 Bridge chords:
 D : x0023x
 A : x02220 (or 557775)
 G : 320033 (or 355733)
 F : 133211

 Again, I put the alternative fingerings in parentheses because I'm not
 exactly sure which is right, though either way sounds fine to me.
 The pattern is A/G/F/D.

[Verse 1]:
 These are all equal measures. The chords are strummed on the last
 word of each measure.

    Dm  |           Dm |              Am
Staning..
            Am  |          Dm |        Dm

"No ..
           Dm  |          Am  |

           Dm

 The song then goes into a part I don't dare try to tab - just strum the
 Am/Dm chords along with it and occasionally pick a note here and there
 along with what you hear.

[Chorus]: Start off with an A
A       G  |       F |      D

         A   |        G   |     F

 Back to the picking/strumming like before.

[Chorus]: Again, start with an A
A        G
Oh if I ...

[Bridge]

[Out]: This follows the same pattern as the verse [Dm/Dm/Am/Am]
    Dm  ... |     Dm
Take me back ... | Save me please

Well, that's the song. Like I said, this is my first tab, so it's not
perfect, and I welcome any feedback at gish@poboxes.com!
