Dave Mathews Band - Ants Marching Notes* -Tacet = a musical term simply meaning MUTE -The outro is only how my band leaves the song and how i leave it when im playing alone in front of others. The Rythem is hard to explain for it E-mail me at MusicEAD@aol.com if you would like me to explain it more elaboratley -Phrase 2 is played through all verses and interludes -The Chorus is a bit messed up (i felt lazy this took long enough) but i put which beats each chords should be on. -If anyone has ANY recomendations for the bridge please E-mail me MusicEAD@aol.com and i will edit it thank you. -For the intro the D and Dsus4 chords may also be played like so (again this is how i play them) ________________________________________ | D = X X 0 7 7 5 | Dsus4 = X X 0 7 8 5 | ---------------------------------------- Chords - E A D G B E D - X X 0 2 3 2 Dsus4 - X X 0 2 3 3 G - 3 2 0 0 3 3 Bm - X 2 4 4 3 2 Gsus4 - 3 3 0 0 3 3 Intro: Phrase 1 | 1(3)+ + | 1(3)+ + | 1(3)+ + | 1(3)+ + | | D | Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 | E|-2---2-2-|-3---3-3-|-2---2-2-|-3---3-3-| B|-3---3-3-|-3---3-3-|-3---3-3-|-3---3-3-| G|-2---2-2-|-2---2-2-|-2---2-2-|-2---2-2-| D|-0---0-0-|-0---0-0-|-0---0-0-|-0---0-0-| A|---------|---------|---------|---------| E|---------|---------|---------|---------| Phrase 2 (for verses too) | 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + | 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + | | D | G | E|-2--X-X-X----------------|-3--X-X-X----------------| B|-3--X-X-X----------------|-3--X-X-X----------------| G|-2--X-X-X----------------|-0--X-X-X------0-----0---| D|-0--X-X-X------4-----4---|-0--X-X-X----------------| A|----X-X-X--4h5---4h5---5-|-2--X-X-X--4h5---4h5---5-| E|----X-X-X----------------|-3--X-X-X----------------| Verse 1:
