Dave Matthews Band was formed in Charlottesville, VA in 1991 by South African native singer and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, the late LeRoi Moore, who played a wide variety of instruments from the saxophone to the flute, violin player Boyd Tinsley, drummer Carter Beauford, and keyboardist Peter Griesar (who left the band in 1993), all of whom Dave met in Charlottesville. In 1998, the band played shows with keyboardist Butch Taylor, although he was not officially a member of the band.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Space Between - DMB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Reese Glidden Email:[email protected]
Tuning: Standard [EADGBe](Song written in [BEADF#B])
E-E-E-D (Hold the D for two bars) A standard open E sounds good but for the D I like to use the top four strings of a D/F# chord. So the intro tab looks like this:
e|--------------| This gives you F#, A, D, which makes up a standard D B|--------------| major Triad, but it is lower than the usual D so it G|-1--1--1------| sounds more like what Dace plays on his baritone. Later D|-2--2--2--0---| in the song he strums the D during the two measure hold, A|-2--2--2--0---| but in the intro he just lets it ring. E|----------2---|
Here Dave plays a 4 chord progression: A - A/G# - A/F# - A/G# e|----------------------------| This is a lower chord than the D-shape A B|--2----2------2------2------| chord that Dave can play on the Baritone, G|--2----2------2------2------| but it still sounds pretty good. I bar the D|--2----2------2------2------| second fret from D down with my first finger A|--0----x------x------x------| and use my 2nd finger for the Bass note of E|-------4------2------4------| the A/F# and my 4th finger for the bass in A/G#. To start the Verse starts he hits the E three times, but then goes to the A instead of the D.
I haven't figured out the "Look at us spinning out in The madness of a roller coaster" part yet, but it doesn't look too difficult. I just wanted to get a better set of chords for this song online. If you watch Dave play this live you'll see different chord shapes because his baritone guitar is a perfect fifth below a standard one. If anybody can help with the missing section, feel free to send me an email. Thanks.
