Guitar Tab

Dave Matthews Band - 'I Did It'
From the Album 'Everyday'
tuning - B  (Baritone Guitar)
         Standard Tuning (Second Guitar)
tabbed by jjhand

If you look at the Baritone part, most of it can be played on normal
guitars if some chords are played in a higher position. Its a great
song, so please rate or comment so I can do the best job on it.

 And make a bomb of love and blow it up"

Dave:
"All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat that collared me"

Boyd (violin player):
"Oh, what I gotta say to you
 You got love
 Don’t turn it down
 Turn it loud
 Let it build
 We got a long way to go
 But you, ya gotta start somewhere"

Dave:
"Go door to door, spread the love you got
 You got the love, You get what you want.
 Does it matter where you get it from?
 I for one don’t turn my cheek for anyone
 Unturn your cheek to give your love
 Love to grow"
