When the World Ends Dave Matthews Band
Tab by Jon Michael
Music by Dave Matthews, the man himself
Inspiration by Actions Jackson
Standard tuning E A D G B E woohoo
I used a program called transcribe to isolate each of the pitches and just worked it
I used the Luther college version. Yeah….Im pretty much awesome.

(repeat this 4 times)
(*when the world ends….)
then this next little part leads into the next…

(*when the world ends…well be lying in bed)
strum these next chords with the rhythm, pay attention to which strings he hits at what
and give it some groove
---1--------1-----------------------------------| ---1--------2--------------------6--------------| ---2--------1-----------5--------7--------------| ---3--------3-----------3--------8--------------| ---3--------4-----------3--------8--------------| ---1--------------------4--------6-------8------|
(*im[F] gonna rock you l[C#]ike a baby…)[G#] [A#]
(yeah I kinda made up that G# chord, but it sounds great and music is a creation, so f-you)
(sometimes I just use the bottom strings of the A# to give it a strong base feel)
---1--------1------------------------| ---1--------2---------6--------------| ---2--------1---------7--------------| ---3--------3---------8--------------| ---3--------4---------8--------------| ---1------------------6-------8------|
F C# A# (this verse is only 3 measures…I know its crazy)
(*we will rise as the buidings crumble…)

F C# A# (play this chord twice as long)
(*passion rises up from the ashes…)
play first verse again and chorus, respectively

(*[E]but don’t you worry bout a thing…..
---0-----------------------0--------| ---3-----------------------1--------| ---2-----------------------0--------| ---0---------------------- 2--------| ---------------------------3--------| ------------------------------------|
[D] [C]
(*oh graces…..oh grace) ….back to the beginning of the verse, then the end of the world
And that’s pretty much all of it, throw the stuff around, add some twists is you like,
autonomy, be creative, and be a musician. The end….
(Ahem) Id like to thank the Academy…
