Very cool intro for the album and the song Repunzel...very short but
sweet...The rhythm is easy to figure out
Chord Progression
E---------------------------
B---------------------------
G---11------6----4-------
D----x-------x----x--------
A----9---/---4----3--------
E---10--/---5----4---------
Here's another version from Lance:
first section....
x
x
11
7
9
10
...emphasizing the 11th fret occasionally
then a thing similair to TB, TM, or LLD.....
x x
x x
6 4
x x
x x
5 3
then it goes into What Will become of me.....i know this is right because i
studied it on Mtv.
Here's another tab from Jack:
Chords used: (reads left to right, low E to high e)
D-10 9 12 11 x x
A-5 4 7 6 x x
G-3 2 5 4 x x
Em-0 2 2 0 3 3
A(2)-x 0 2 2 2 3
D(2)-x x 0 2 3 2
Bm-x 2 4 4 3 2
The first part is D, A, G (all played in the some voicing as Say Goodbye)
Then when it changes it goes into Em, A(2), D(2), Bm (which is the same as
What Will Become of Me?)
Then right before Rapunzel, it's A, G, D.
It is basically a cross between the verse of Say Goodbye and What Will
Become of Me?

There are a number of nuances, my advice is to sit down and
play along with the disk.

"The Last Stop"
Fire, The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears, War
The only way to Peace
I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no, Gracious even God
Bloodied the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mother's cry
"Is hate so deep
Must a baby's bones this hungry fire feed?"
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream
Right is wrong now
Shut up you big lie
This black and white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You're righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here there's more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white
You're righteous, you're righteous
You're righteous, you're always so right
There you are nailing a good tree
Then say forgive me, forgive me
Why
Raining tears
This is the last stop
Here there is more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white
Don't Drink the Water

Here's some additional information from Josh Benson:
The tab for DDTW(the part of the song where Dave sings, "Yes I will
call...") goes like this:
e---X---
b---x---
g---4---
d---x---
a---2---
E---5---
I forgot something as well. The third section is incorrect. The second
half(after the B5 chord) of it should go like this:
e---x---
b---x---
g---x---
d---5---
a---5---
E---5---

Here's another version from Todd Woodard:
Hey..I've been over the tab's that you have for Stay, and I think my
version is more accurate than the others you have.. Try it out, it's
simpler (Dave's parts are usually fairly simple), and I think it sounds
more like the song:
| . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .

Each beat is marked off with a |, it's a two bar phrase, the bar line
denoted with a | on the bottom of the staff. If you listen carefully, you
will hear the slide I've tabbed out at the end of the 'riff'.
Here's another from Erik Hedman:
i figured out the tabs form the intro to stay. i took a look at
everyones tabs,but it seemed they were moving all over the neck of the
guitar. Dave basically stays in one place. I don't have the special format
to write it in, so i'm going to do my best.sorry this is how it is.

I left out the muting because it's tough to notate and it gets
confusing anyway, just listen to the album to get the rhythm.
As I said I went through this note by note to make sure it was
right, and they are typical Dave Matthews chords, so it should
be correct.
Here's yet another from Jason Weathers:
his is just the intro to the song and I thought I'd share how I think the
song is played. It sure sounds a lot better than the other tabs, and I
think its pretty right on.

I'll finish up with the rest of the song soon including the jam in the middle
that sounds just like a lot of notes (ie. like the jam in Drive in at the
end of the song) so keep checking.

okay, from the front row in Roanoke, right in front of Dave, this is what it
looked like, and it sounds right. The album sounds busier 'cause tim's
playing pretty heavy in there too.

This is a pretty straightforward song, so I've only tabbed out the
major parts -- you'll have to cut and paste as necessary, but it
should all be here. Dave mutes many of the strings and articulates
the up and down strokes carefully in this song...the best way to
learn as always is to sit and play along.

Here's a few words from Ethan Bauley:
This progression assumes that the bass lick goes between B and E
The verse part doesn't really have any guitar; just the bass
The next part, where he says "Crazy how you make it alright" goes to C
one for one bar, then to B, then back to the verse
After the next verse, after the C to B part, he goes down to an open E
major for a bar.
After the open E, the "Lovely lady..." part goes two bars G, two bars A,
one bar of C, twice.
The "It's crazy, I'm thinking" part has two bars of C major, two beats of
F, two beats of G, then another bar of C before going back to the open E,
which goes back to the "Lovely lady" part.
Yadda, yadda yadda, the violin lick to the "It's crazy..." part goes
g-4-5--4-5--4-5--4-5--4-5-4-2-0------
d-------------------------------3----
Here's a few words from Kyle Bradstreet:
I believe that Sean posted it as C-G-E(SOMETHING)-D from working with it
and using my ears, i concluded that it goes something like
C- G- C- B( note, not chord )
i am pretty sure that this is more accurate than the other version, but by

The Dreaming Tree

There is also in this intro a alternating A and B on the G string, but I
believe its Tim Reynolds, and not Dave playing it all..it seems pretty
impossible for him to be doing it by himself, so I tried to combine it
best I could, so I left out the A in the riff so you can play it by
yourself....Enjoy!

Keep repeating this through the verses
This next part is a Tim Reynolds solo. For this, you really have
to listen to it to get the rythem just right, but here are the notes.

Keep repeating this until end of verse, then its back to the intro.
Here's another version from Jack Gray:
This is a really cool song. Some of it is easy while some of it isn't easy
to get used to. I think that its origins come from the jam at the end of
Seek Up when Dave wails a lot.

repeat this until "The dreaming tree has died." After that it goes into
two guitar parts.

two: strums this over and over
e-13-13---13-13

Do both 4 times, then strum A and hold
Then, during the "have you no pity" part:
A, G, F, D, and repeat. Then
[D]speak[A]please
Do all of this until the lots-o-muting fast part at the end, which is:
Dm(2)x2 to C(2)x2
Yet another version from Ethan Bauley: this first part (i think it's
this first part (i think it's played similarly to "seek up" (position-wise)):
e----------------------------------------
b------5--7-------7-------5--7-------7---
g----------------------------------------
d--7----------7-------7----------7-------
i play it with my ring finger on the seventh fret of the "d" string and
my index finger and pinky splitting duty on the fifth and seventh frets
of the "b" string, respectively.
the verse part has been driving me nuts. i think it goes like this(each
chord is strummed at the beginning of each bar):
Dm D Am Am
e--1---------0------------
b--3----3----1-----1------
g--2----2----2-----2------
d-------0----2-----2------
a-------------------------
make sure to leave the top note of the chord every second time you play it.
or, maybe something like:
e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g--10----7----9----3--------------------
d--12---------7----5--------------------
a--12----8------------------------------
i don't know the next part, but the chorus goes something like
D5 (eX,b3,g2,d0)
A5 or maybe Asus4
G (E3,a2,d0,g0)
F
Here's another version from Jason Weathers:
Intro:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------5/7----------7------------5/7------------7-----------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------
D------7--------------7------------7-------------7------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------
E
Verse: Dm A# C Am
E----x-----x------x------x------------------------------------------
B----6-----x------x------x------------------------------------------
G----7-----7------9------5------------------------------------------
D----x-----8------10-----7-------------------------------------------
A----5-----x------x------x------------------------------------------
E----x-----6------8------6------------------------------------------
after "the Dreaming tree has died," Dave strums the Dm fast and stays on
it for a while, and ends with a single strum on an A before the chorus.
Chorus: this was difficult but I think I got it. The first three chords
are A-G-F, and then it goes to a "Dave" D chord that he plays in Best of
Whats around. It looks like this:
E---------5-----
B---------3----- When you play it, it'll look like a C moved up
G--------------- 2 frets with an added chord.
D---------4-----
A---------5-----
E---------x-----
When Dave gets to "Take me back..." play the verse chords.
At "Save me please..." he's just playing the Dm chord through the end.

then it goes something like: G-B-C-D(or G; there's definately two
guitars playing there), then some other stuff best left to someone less
impatient than myself.

Here's another from Cliff LeBlanc:
ok....i've played with the album and this is correct. It's the same
progression through the whole song except for the Em7 formattas.
Em7 0 2 2 0 3 3
Em D C Em Em/G# Am D G G/F#
Listen for the changes...it's pretty simple
Here's another from Brad Paye:
: : INTRO Let the Em7 chords ring.

Toward the end of the song, the intro section is repeated several times,
with the horn jam on top. The only difference from the intro seems to
be the final base line, which goes:
E |--------------------|
B |--------------------|
G |--------------------|
D |--------------------|
A |--3-2------------|
E |----------3-2----|
Have fun!

This is the first tab that I've put together, and it's just chords.
This is the short "song" at the end of Before These Crowded Streets
(CD-6:00), that I've dubbed "Everything Will Be All Right." If you've
got any questions, please e-mail me - dontburnthepig@hotmail.com.

when i heard this little diddy, the first thing that came to my head was
"Low Light" by Pearl Jam. If you listen carefully, they are practically
identical. This is how you play "Low Light", so I tried it, and it
sounded good.
