Tripping Billies

Dave Matthews Band
Tab
★4.8(20)

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

Song

This is the correct tab for tripping billies....

It is taken from storytellers on VH1, This is accurate.

Just listen for the rhythm.
