If I Had it All

Song

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I Had It All - Dave Matthews Band

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's much better to have the lyrics included.

If you aren't singing as you play, then you should be!!!!

I decided to change the G on Riif 1.

I prefer doubling up the B on the G string(3).

Try to let the A at the end of Riff 1 ring, and slide into the start.

Let the vocals decide.

Lyrics on top, and Guide on the bottom.

Tuning: Standard (E B G D A E)

2 3 2 1 3 Esus2 G(-5) A

As if I'm stuck in the ground somehow, like a tree

As if I can't even breath

My screams just come whispering out

As if nobody can even see me

Like a ghost! Sometimes I can't see myself sometimes

Then again

Transition to Chorus

If I were a king? If I had everything?

If I had everything

If I had you, and I could give you your dreams

If I were giant-sized. On top of it all.

Then tell me what in the world would I sing for......Ohhhhh

{Bring it home - last Chorus}

If I were a king? If I had everything

Piece by piece, if I had you, and I could give you your dreams

If I were giant-sized. On top of it all.

Then tell me what in the world would I go on for.

If I had it all. {do this twice)
