Dave Matthews Band — Gravedigger Acoustic (ver 3) Chords

  Rate this tab: 
The thing you have to remember about this song is that Dave improvs a lot so nothing
written down is going to be completely right. At the beginning, he hammers from Amadd9
to Am (|—02200| to |—02210|) and does so throughout the entire song. Listen to whole
song to figure out when else. The chord placement is going to be a little strange, but
I tried to copy where the chords actually change (or are emphasized). And sometimes,
an E7 sounds better, but it's up to you.

you should have to bury your own babies
