"Dream On" by Depeche Mode

Words and music by Martin Gore

Tabbed by Matt Williams

This song is surprisingly easy to play once you set it

up right. Drop the low E

string to D and place a capo on the first fret.

The main riff is played like this (keeping in mind

that "1" is still the first

fret, but it is played open because of the capo)

E|-----------------------------|

B|.---------------------------.|

G|-----------------------------|

D|----1-4-1-1------1-4-1-1-----|

A|.--4-----4--4---4-----4--4--.|

D|-----------4-1----------4-1--|

This repeats throughout the song, it's basically a

cyclic alternate-picking

riff that is quite easy and fluid oncee you get the

hang of it. Listen to the

song for the meter and rythm. I just keep my middle

finger of my left hand

planted on the 4th fret of the 5th string and I use my

ring finger for the

fretting on strings 4 and 6.

Here is the bridge part:

E|----------------|

B|----------------|

G|----1--1---1--1-|

D|---1--1---1--1--|

A|----------------|

D|--1------3------|

And the bit before Dave sings "mmm mmm"

E|---------------------|

B|---------------------|

G|---------------------|

D|--------4----------4-|

A|-----1-4--------1-4--|

D|--1-4--------1-4-----|

As always, check the song for rythm and meter.
