Rhyme and Reason

Dave Matthews Band
Tab
★4.5(17)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

e|--------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|--------3---------------------9\7-----------|
D|--3/5-0---------5-------7-7---------10------|
A|----------5/6-----7/8-----------------------|
E|--------------6-------8-----8-----6---------|

The finger technique is kinda confusing for this song so I'll

tell you how Dave plays it step by step.

Play the 3slide5 with your ring finger, then the 3G with your index, 5slide6

with your ring, 6E with your middle, 5D with your index, 7slide8 with the ring,

8E with your middle, 7D with your index, then leave your middle finger where it

is and your ring should already be over the 9G to play 9slide7, then index on

the last 6E and pinkie on the 10D.

Chorus

G|------5---3---5---|
D|--5---5---3---5---|
A|--5---3---1---x---|
E|--3-----------5---|
