Dave Matthews Band

"Lie In Our Graves"

From the album "Crash"

Words by Dave Matthews

Music by Dave Matthews, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, Leroi

Moore, and Boyd Tinsley

Transcribed by Tim Barnett

First off, this just is all about what Dave is known for,

straight jammin!! This song was kind of easy to figure out because of

the repetition of the intro. The rest of the song is just playing

chords slow then fast. I want to dedicate this song to Corey and J.D.

who got me into Dave Matthews Band.

1st verse:

When I step into the light, my arms are open wide.

Oh, when I step into the light, my eyes searching wildly.

Would you not like to be sittin' on top of the world with your legs

hangin' free?

Would you not like to be

okay, okay, okay.

When i'm walikin' by the water, splish splash, me and you takin' a bath.

Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water,

Comes up through my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul I'm blown

away.

3rd verse: Fig.1 7 and a half xs

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had

spend our living days well.

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that

we might have been.

Would you not like to be?

I can't believe that you would not like to be okay, okay, okay, okay,

okay, okay.

Well, that's all of this song. If I got anything wrong please

e-mail me at procura@aye.net. I am open to any corrections and also

Dave songs. Also I would like to say thanks and give love to my

beautiful girlfriend, Janelle, because she is why I play guitar. Thanks

and enjoy!!!!!!!!!

#as a result of my last posting of *say goodbye* i got a lovely little flame
#from someone claiming they were from dave's front office, all pissy about
#the details of the posting.  as i don't want to come across as a *loser poser*
#as he pointed out that i most certainly did, let me make all the standard
#disclaimers that i simply assumed last time.  (1) for those who were unaware
#(?), dave plays live and his lyrics and tab changes by the evening.  this is
#NOT the definitive version of the song.  (2) dave's great talent is in
#improvisation, so play around with what you see below.  try open chords, try
#standard chords, barre chords, pick parts, strum parts... anything.  chances
#are he's played it that way at least one night.

When I'm walkin' by the water, splish splash, me and you takin' a bath.
Oh, when I'm walkin' by the water it comes up through my toes to my
anlkes to my head to my soul I'm blown away.

3rd verse: Fig.1  7 and a half xs
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had
spend our living days well.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that
we might have been.
Would you not like to be?
I can't believe that you would not like to be  okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay.
        Well, that's all of this song.  If I got anything wrong please
e-mail me at procura@aye.net.  I am open to any corrections and also
Dave songs.  Also I would like to say thanks and give love to my
beautiful girlfriend, Janelle, because she is why I play guitar.  Thanks
and enjoy!!!!!!!!!
