Crazy By: Dave Matthews Band Transcribed by: Matt Belmont mattb@tconl.com this is based mainly on the 06/03/96 version
of the song, played by a hammered guy by the name of Dave Matthews...
i also listened to the 02/06/97 version to compare and for the words,
which aren't perfect either...he got better at playing it in the
meantime...and changed it subtly. please listen to it for the rhythm,
the exact timings would be impossible to tab. and they aren't always
the same, just go with what feels appropriate...Dave plays it almost
gently the first time, the 2/6/97 show is really more expressive i
don't know the exact name of all the chords...sorry. i'll call some
of them a ninth chord of some variety, but i think it's actually some
sort of "sus4 add9" chord... Part I C#9 G#9 B A E---4---------7----5-------------------------------- B---4----4----7----5-------------------------------- G---8----4----7----5-------------------------------- D---6----8----9----7-------------------------------- A---4----6----9----7-------------------------------- E---x----4----7----5-------------------------------- mute the C#9 with the end of your first
finger, and yes, play the stretch with your pinkie. all of the barre chords
use muting some where, concentrate on the bottom three notes of the
chord. *at the begining of the song, the first
chord is played twice, also after the different transitions. Part IA: C#9 G#9 B A E-----------------------777777-----555555------------ B-----------------------777777-----555555------------ G---888888--------------777777-----555555------------ D---666666----888888----999999-----777777------------ A-4-444444----666666----999999-----777777------------ E-----------4-444444--7-777777--5--555555------------ IB: C#9 G#9 B A E----------7--------5------------------ B----------7-----7*-5------------------ G---888----7(8?)----5(6)?-------------- D---666--8/9--------7------------------ A-4------6/9--------7------------------ E------4--/7--------5------------------ *sometimes he adds this note on the upswing
to play the A Part II: B Bb A(don't know exactly how many
times he plays the A, somewhere in there he lets the low E
free... E--777777--66--555555------- B--777777--66--555555------- G--777777--66--555555------- D--999999--88--777777------- A--999999--88--777777------- E--777777--66--555000------- Part III and outro: ??? adds just a couple
chords i don't have the patience to figure out right now... Part IV: C#9 G# F#9 (A G#9) E--------------------------------- B--------------------------------- G---88888888---------------------- D---66666666-66666666-66666666---- repeat
(on the third time, A---44444444-66666666-44444444---- play an A
