"What You Are" by Dave Matthews

This is tabbed from an mp3 I got from

http://www.laststop.bootleglists.com. It's a live recording from one of

the radio shows he's been doing lately.

I'm not sure if he's using his baritone guitar on this, but there's

definitely that low D, so I dropped my top string to a D to play this.

Of course the timing and number of strokes aren't considered in this

tab, I just put the basic melody, you all can figure the rest out from

there.

Intro/Main Riff:

F#m

F#m D C# B A G#

D-4--4-4-4-4------- D-------------7---6-

Chorus: (What you've become...)

A G2 F D5 C E G#

D-7--7--7---7------2--6-

A-----------5---3-------

E-7--5--3---0------2--6-

Bridge: (What you are, is a beast...)

Just F# E B, I'm pretty sure he just uses fifths but play it however it

sounds good to you.

It sounds pretty simple on the recording I have, but I may be dumbing it

down too much. Let me know if you have any comments about how to make

it better.
