Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Stand Up
Song: Dreamgirl
Tabbed by: Ian Socha

Standard Tuning
h - hammer on
s - slide

Listen to the song for the timing of the intro/chorus
riff, he plays behind the beat on a few notes, more
towards the end of the riff (after the last note on
the D string just slide up a few frets & let go just
before repeating the riff). I think I got the basic
chords down, they seem to sound better with the bottom
two strings muted - let me know if you find something
that works better. Have fun...

Intro/Chorus riff:

e --------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------
G --------------------------------------
D -9-7-6---6h7-6-------6-4-2---2h4-2s---
A -------7-------7---4-------4----------
E --------------------------------------

Verse:

E                              A 
I would dig a hole all the way to China

                       E
Unless of course I was there

                A
Then I'd dig my way home

      E
If by digging I could steal 

A                              E
The wind from the sails of the greedy men 

             A
Who rule the world

Bridge:

                E          B   A
Still you're my best friend

            E          B   A   
And after a good, good drunk, you and me 

     E           B            A
Wake up and make love after a deep sleep

            E 
Where I was dreaming, I was dreaming

              
Of a dreamgirl 

Intro/Chorus Riff played over E and A


For each orchestra hit (they play 5 quickly) on the
break in the song after the 2nd chorus (about 2:30
into the track), I just play an F# power chord
(244xxx)

Again, the CD just came out & I'm sure there's better
ways to play it, hopefully the intro/chorus riff will
help get you started.
