Where Are You Going Acoustic tab by Dave Matthews Band

Tabs

Dave Matthews, Where are you Going -- Acoustic
As Tabbed By Christopher Owens
[email protected]

In many of Dave Matthew's songs, the guitar seems to play one
part throughout the song, and the melody is provided by the
bass. This can be a bummer if you're performing solo, esp.
on an acoustic.

First, TUNE your 1st string (high e) down to an a -- I find it
easiest to tune to a harmonic on the 12th fret of the 5th (Chord diagramA augmentedA)
string. This gets rid of having to deal with muting the e string
through the entire song -- it provides a nice, mellow sound.

So your tuning is:
   a|

   Chord diagramG+G|
   Chord diagramD MajorD|
   Chord diagramA augmentedA|
   Chord diagramE MajorE|

Intro & Verse

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2     Dsus2/G     Dsus2/B     Dsus2/A.    Many x

(The intro hammers on the Chord diagramG+G string --0h2---)
Pick the bass note DISTINCTLY, then just strum them in.

CHORUS ("I am no Superman...")

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2     Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramB minorBm      Chord diagramBb majorBb      3x

(See chord voicings below)
These chord voicings have a nice mellow sound.

CHORUS COT'D ("But I do know one thing...."

SAX SOLO

If you're playing this solo / acoustic, you probably won't
want to put this in here, but here's what I can catch: It's
a descending Chord diagramF#F# major scale, I think. That translates to:

e|:-8s14s12-12-11-9 something something-2s3-2s3,-2-3-5-7-8
Repeat, end with                                 2-3-5-7-8-10

But that's for a high e-string, which we don't have in this
tuning. Try it on your B-string.

Enjoy!
