Dave Matthews Band - Gaucho
For the sake of credit where it's due, version 1 of this tune got
the intro correct but not the chords so I've borrowed the intro tab
and created this more complete and accurate version based on one of
Dave's live performances - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i1nno-wcx8 .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The chords below are not how Dave Plays the tune but are merely and option for people who
have trouble playing Dave's single note riffs while singing. Read description of the Intro/Verse
tab to interpret chord placement above the lyrics.
OPTIONAL INTRO/VERSE may be easier for some F#Maj7

The LAST CHORUS is where the childrens choir sings in the studio version of this song,
as most of us dont have a childrens choir handy this version adds a nice little change
of pace so that the chorus doesnt get too repetitive. Anyways Tim is only playing
2 notes back and forth (Bb - Ab) before Dave starts playing the guitar again. The chords in
this part are my interpretation of what sounds good here, strum each once. Or you could
always just play the two notes like Tim does or simply slap the guitar in time using no chords at all.
Chords: "*" after a chord means strum lightly once
