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.

G---888----7(8?)----5(6)?--------------

A-4------6/9--------7------------------

E------4--/7--------5------------------

 

*sometimes he adds this note on the upswing to play the A

in there he lets the low E free...

I+

oh don't you see the strange way

because i am the captain of this ship

eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips

 

I

just the same as it was, may...

I

eyes, eyelids, and kissing lips

 

I

just the same as for all i bring and reigning to be

be hypnotized by someone else's lie

IV
