Dave Matthews Band — Stone Tab

Title:   	The Stone (acoustic)
Artist:  	Dave Matthews
Tabbed By:	Tim  (punk_guy155@hotmail.com)

This tab is as Dave played the song on a PBS interview a long time ago.
I'm pretty sure about the accuracy of most of this tab, I pulled the notes
directly from the performance.  The one thing that's kind of shaky is
the chorus, his hand is always behind the mic when he plays it so I made
my best guestimation as to the chord structure.  If you have any questions,
additions, corrections, comments, e—mail me.  I'll update this tab as
I figure more of it out.

I've this creeping			I'm a long way
Suspicion that things are not		From that fool's mistake and
as they seem				now forever pay
Reassure me				No, run
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep	I will run and I'll be ok
I've been praying
For some way to show them		=========
I'm not what they see			=verse 3=
Yes I have done wrong			=========
But what I did I thought		I need so
needed be done				To stay in your arms,
I swear	(main riff 2X)			see you smile,
Unholy day				hold you close.
If I leave now I might get away		And it weighs on me
This weighs on me			As heavy as stone and
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go	a bone chilling cold.

Dave adds a nice little rendition of "Can't help falling"
to the end of the song, its just added to the last chorus
using the same chords, but not the picking part.

I was just wondering
if you'd come along
oh, tell me you will
out of this
out of this
out of this __________?
let it all fall out
let it all fall out
until you __________?
Wise men say
Only fools fall in love
but I can't help
falling in love with you
right now.

Sometimes Dave mumbles and you really can't tell what he's saying,
if you know what he says in those parts then e—mail me and let me
know so I can update the TAB.  Hope you enjoy the song.
